The CCSU History Department coordinates one of the largest and most successful teacher preparation programs at CCSU and one of the largest History/Social Studies programs in the state. A teaching certificate in history/social studies from CCSU connects you to long history of professional excellence with deep connections to CCSU alums who serve in every capacity of our education system, from teachers to curriculum specialists, principals, and superintendents. We also have ongoing and productive relationships with the State Department of Education, the Connecticut Council for the Social Studies, Connecticut History Day, and a host of educational and public history organizations. All of these provide our pre-service teachers with internship and professional development opportunities.
