Discover the Liberal Studies Curriculum
Liberal studies majors receive opportunities to work with elementary school children, special content courses designed for future teachers, dedicated instructors from both the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Leadership and Education Sciences, and comprehensive advising.
In addition to the required multiple-subject content areas that are the focus of the courses in the College of Arts and Science, courses on the foundations of education and teaching methods required for the preliminary teaching credential may be taken at the undergraduate level in the School of Leadership and Education Sciences (SOLES).

Major
The Liberal Studies major is ideal for students who are interested in earning either the preliminary Multiple Subject credential for K-6 elementary teaching, or the preliminary Education Specialist Instruction credential for mild-moderate disabilities.
Students may also choose to earn a teaching credential (Multiple Subjects or Education Specialist) concurrently with their BA.

Each student declares their major(s) and minor(s) under a single catalog of record that is identified on the student's degree audit (available on Degree Works).
The program requirements below are based on the current course catalog and may not be applicable if a student is declared in an earlier catalog.
