Liberal Studies

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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
    1. a flexible program of study which assures a breadth of education and provides opportunity for concentration in an area of one's choice.
    2. the recommended baccalaureate curriculum preparation for the teaching credential program (monolingual).
    3. the baccalaureate curriculum preparation for teaching with a bilingual, cross-cultural Chicano focus.

How to find a course by GE Area

Go into Bronco Direct guest services and choose Schedule of Classes. Pick 2045 for summer 2004 and then Advanced Search. If you enter LS in the Subject and nothing else, then you'll see all open LS classes. If, instead, you fill in (for example) GE-A in Course Attribute and A-1 in Course Attr. Value, then you'll get all of the open A-1 courses. These fields (Course Attribute and Course Attr. Value) have look-up features, but it's pretty easy to see that you'd put in GE-B and B-4 if you wanted all of the B4 classes.
