Every effort is made to help students stay informed of requirements and deadlines.
However, it is the student's responsibility to meet deadlines and to seek advice regarding degree requirements. The Department of Social Science Education offers the Ed. S. degree program for individuals who wish to focus their careers primarily on social studies teaching and curriculum leadership at the precollegiate level. S. degree program provides an opportunity for advanced study and specialization in the field of social studies without the heavy emphasis on research that is present in the Department's doctoral degrees. Selection is based upon a consideration of the strength of the complete application package.
