The major in Liberal Studies offers a diversified curriculum for those who are attracted to an interdisciplinary program of study. The purposes of Liberal Studies are two fold:
- To prepare students for graduate work in such fields as law and ministry; or for work in business, human services, government, and public relations; or to pursue intellectual fulfillment for its own sake.
- To provide the undergraduate preparation for students to teach in the public schools of California. Liberal Studies is approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing as a baccalaureate waiver program for entry into a multiple subject credential program. This credential licenses a person to teach in a self-contained classroom, primarily in elementary schools.
Options of study include
- a flexible program of study which assures a breadth of education and provides opportunity for concentration in an area of one's choice.
- the recommended baccalaureate curriculum preparation for the teaching credential program (monolingual).
- the baccalaureate curriculum preparation for teaching with a bilingual, cross-cultural Chicano focus.
Location
The Liberal Studies Department Is located in building 94 room 321
