Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies

Liberal Studies is the major of choice for students interested in careers in elementary school education. Under the federal legislation No Child Left Behind all prospective teachers must be “highly qualified” by demonstrating proficiency in their subject matter. The Liberal Studies major includes a core of lower-division courses designed to provide students with broad subject matter coverage to give them the foundation needed to pass the CSET and enable them to be well-prepared to teach. The five upper-division tracks allow students to build upon their strengths and interests and at the same time provide them with a connection to the core Education courses. The Prepare to Teach Program is a pre-professional program open to undergraduates in all majors who are interested in teaching in California elementary schools. Through the program, prospective teachers begin to think periodically about subjects they are studying, gain early field experience in the schools, and receive an introduction to the profession that will help them make informed decisions about their own careers. The goal is to give prospective elementary school teachers information about state requirements that are best met when students are undergraduates and to advise on how to prepare to teach the required subjects in California elementary schools. The program is administered in the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs, 3111 CHASS Interdisciplinary Building, (951) 827-6427.
