大学为希望获得在中学，初中或高中任教的执照的学生提供社会学教育学士学位。学生可以选择集中于以下两个（或多个）教学领域：经济学，地理，政府，历史，心理学，社会学。通过在Bayh教育学院和艺术与科学学院的课堂教学和多种现场经验以及所需的学生教学经验，学生可以获得教学技能。现场体验早在三年级就开始了，传统上在高年级就进行学生教学。
A social studies education degree helps students develop the ability to make informed decisions and understand their culturally diverse society, and then to pass that knowledge on to their future students. Teachers who are passionate about history, culture, government, and world events can inspire the next generation to pursue careers of significance and influence. Social studies teachers educate students about society as it relates to them. The discipline introduces students to politics, citizenship, cultural awareness, geography, history, government relations, economics, and a general knowledge of global affairs. As a social studies education major at Indiana State, you will become licensed to teach these and related subjects to middle and high school students.
