The faculty have recently completed a revision of the social studies education program in both the graduate and STEP programs. These programs lead to New York State certification in Social Studies Education (7-12). This revision, which has been accompanied by a doubling of the faculty in social studies education, includes a requirement that all students take a minimum of one graduate mathematics course (e.g., Historiography), and the addition of a second pedagogical arts course that is co-taught by master social studies teachers from the community.
