Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements
The Liberal Studies Program includes coursework that provides subject matter proficiency for students who plan on pursuing a Multiple Subject (elementary grades) or Education Specialist teaching credential. This program includes specific General Education courses and additional courses in the major that are aligned to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing content specifications in these seven core areas:
- Reading, Language, and Literature
- History and Social Sciences
- Mathematics
- Natural Sciences
- Visual and Performing Arts
- Physical Education
- Human Development
Attention: The liberal studies degree listed here is correct as of the time of publication of this catalog. As teacher education programs are subject to state and system legislative control, it is recommended that students interested in the credential consult the Center for Advising and Student Services in the Kremen School of Education and Human Development for current program requirements.
This degree is specifically designed for students who intend to pursue the postbaccalaureate Multiple Subject or Education Specialist teaching credential. Students who intend to teach at the secondary school level should major in the subject area they wish to teach.
