Hey everyone!!
I was wondering if anyone knew of any degrees that allow people to teach history, english and legal studies(social science)?

Does a social science degree allow you to teach legal and modern history?
or is modern history not considered as a social science?


thanks for your help!

Do an arts degree, study history and English as majors, maybe do a few criminology electives. Then get a DipEd, and you'd probably be able to teach them.

There is a certain amount of units you need in a topic to be qualified in with the Dip Ed. I doubt the number of units left for electives would meet this requirement.

Maybe overload/stay longer and do 3 majors?

I believe in humanities subjects they merely require you've done a major in one humanity plus a few extra courses. Most Legal Studies teachers I know also teach/have taught Geography, Commerce, History and Economics. They can't have majors in all of them.

edit: http://www.nswteachers.nsw.edu.au/downloaddocument.aspx?DocumentID=567 - official requirements for registration in NSW. You have to have a main subject you apply for, in which you've done a major, and then the second subject with half of that requirement, or something like that.
