SECONDARY-LEVEL SOCIAL STUDIES AND HISTORY TEACHING
Students interested in teaching history at the high school and middle school levels need to complete a broad field program in history and the social sciences in preparation for licensure as a "social studies" teacher. There is no license in Minnesota for teaching only history. The Minnesota Board of Teaching, not Winona State University, defines the scope of teaching licenses.
