Program Expectations & Advising Resources for the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Social Studies Education (6-12), Licensure

The B.Ed. in Social Studies Education (6-12) is designed for individuals who do not have an initial teaching license. This is the perfect program for individuals interested in earning a license in Social Studies Education.

Field experience requirements will be completed early and often in the field of social studies education and culminate in a 16-week student teaching semester. Licensure in the state of Virginia requires that you meet all necessary criteria.

Upon successful completion of Liberty University’s Virginia state-approved B.Ed. program, you may apply for your teaching license in another state through reciprocity, which may or may not result in additional requirements based on your state’s Department of Education regulations.
