    HIST 207 - U. S. History to 1877

  2. Social Studies Requirement 02

How to Improve Content Coverage

Using the “Most Aligned” Set of Courses, current course requirements can address up to 69.23% coverage of social studies topics.

The topics still lacking coverage include:

  • World History - 20th Century and Beyond
  • Economic Principles and Exchange
  • The Economy
  • Pre-Columbian and/or Ancient Civilizations

To improve content coverage, the institution or teacher preparation program may need to require additional courses for their candidates to achieve coverage across all topics. Our analysts identified the following courses to cover these topics:

  • World History - 20th Century and Beyond: HIST 202
  • Economic Principles and Exchange: ECON 201
  • The Economy: ECON 202
  • Pre-Columbian and/or Ancient Civilizations: HIST 201
