With the B-STEP (Bridge to Secondary Teacher Education Program) Combined Degree Programs, current History BA majors can pursue a career in teaching History to middle and high school students. Choose a single certification option with the Adolescent Education MST (grades 7-12) or the dual certification option combined with Special Education. Graduate coursework will begin during your senior year and continue throughout the summer, with twelve credits serving as BOTH SOE graduate and Dyson undergraduate open elective credits.
Students must apply by the spring semester of their junior year. The bachelor's and master's degrees are both conveyed at the end of the 5th year. Please speak to your Academic Advisor for more information.
