Students enrolled in a program of studies leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in economics/social
studies will fulfill the requirements as listed below. The preparation of
teachers is a shared responsibility of three colleges: the College of
Education and Human Services, which certifies economics/social studies
teachers under the aegis of program approval granted by the Pennsylvania
Department of Education, and the College of Arts and Sciences and the John L.
Grove College of Business which make available many of the content courses
which the prospective teacher must complete.
To receive an initial certificate to teach in the public schools of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a student must apply to the Dean of the College
of Education and Human Services. Certification to teach in the public schools
of Pennsylvania is approved by the Dean of the College of Education and Human
