The mission of the Liberal Studies Program is to provide rigorous and relevant subject matter preparation for elementary teaching that is committed to equity and social justice.
The Liberal Studies Program has received an Elementary Subject Matter Authorization from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. This authorization permits graduates from the program to satisfy the Subject Matter Proficiency requirement for the Multiple Subject Credential Program through completion of required coursework. This purposeful and carefully aligned sequence of courses represents the “Gold Standard” for subject matter preparation for future elementary teachers in the areas of Reading, Language, and Literature; History and Social Sciences; Mathematics; Natural Science; Visual and Performing Arts; Physical Education; and Human Development
