Students graduate with a BA in their disciplinary major and a MEd in Education with State of Illinois Secondary Social Science licensure.
Students may apply to the TEACH Program during the spring of their junior year. They must enroll in the Junior Year Experiential Learning course, TCH 320, and meet other application criteria; these include completion of at least 16 quarter credit hours at DePaul and a 3.0 grade point average.

This combined degree program of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Education was collaboratively developed, and is governed and taught by faculty from these units.
The Master鈥檚 year comprises teacher-preparation coursework that culminates with student teaching during Spring quarter. Upon graduation and the fulfilling of State of Illinois licensure requirements (which may require some additional course work in the student鈥檚 major and related fields), students are eligible to be licensed to teach Social Sciences at the 5th-12th grade levels.
