B.A. in Child Study with a Concentration in History

"The history department at St. Joseph’s University includes some of the most remarkable classes, equipped with top professors who have a passion and knowledge for all things history. Each professor's enthusiasm and dedication to teaching history has had a major influence on me and the way I plan to approach my own teaching. Their wealth of knowledge has inspired me to learn from the events of the past to better shape the lives of the students I will have the privilege to work with in my future."

The Long Island History Concentration Experience

Learn from the Best: The adolescence education program at St. Joseph's University consistently ranks among the best teaching programs in the New York metropolitan area. No wonder our program has a high job placement rating.

Get Outside the Classroom: Immerse yourself in the history of a country you will one day teach about — by studying abroad in such places as Poland, Germany, England and France.

Reach Your Goals: By graduation, you will have the qualifications for initial certification in New York state, with experience working with first through sixth graders in such settings as private, parochial and public schools, as well as in general education and special education classrooms.
