About the course

The Liberal Studies major is primarily designed for students who are interested in becoming K-8 teachers and requires a broad-based liberal arts experience. Six of the seven Liberal Studies emphases are designed to satisfy pre-teaching credential requirements. These emphases prepare students for passage of the subject matter examination that candidates must pass in order to be eligible to begin a teaching credential program, which is required to teach in grades K-12 in the public schools. Because the Liberal Studies teacher preparation emphases prepare students for a state licensed credential, requirements may be changed by state mandate at any time.
