This major is administered by the Department of History .
Consists of a minimum of 54 social science credits from the following subjects: anthropology, economics, geography (human), history, political science, psychology and sociology.
This “broad-field” social science major will permit teaching in the major field, the minor field, and the fusion courses. (The fusion courses are those drawn from several of the social science disciplines and, therefore, require a composite preparation in social science. Fusion courses include civics, social problems, American problems, area studies, vital issues, etc.) In addition, broad-field social science majors may be certified to teach in any of the social science disciplines in which they have completed 9 credits.
For certification in the “broad-field” social sciences, Wisconsin statutes require instruction in conservation and cooperatives. These requirements (normally ECON 110 or ECON 272 , and NRES 370 ) are described in the Education section of this catalog.
