The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies provides students with a comprehensive, multidimensional education in a variety of disciplines and serves as an excellent base for further professional educational development. There are two Options in Liberal Studies: Concentrated Studies Option and Teaching and Learning Option.

For more information about one of the below options, click the blue title of the option.

Concentrated Studies Option

This option allows students to develop a Program of Study with a faculty advisor which focuses on a disciplinary or interdisciplinary area. In addition to students interested in non-traditional or interdisciplinary degree programs, this option will be of interest to students who have taken substantial course work from a four-year institution in a discipline not currently reflected in the majors at CSUCI.

Teaching and Learning Option

The Teaching and Learning Option provides multiple subject matter preparation for students to be admitted to the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. The curriculum in this option has been submitted to the California Commission on Teaching Credentialing for approval. This option will provide critical subject matter preparation for passage of the CSET, as an admission requirement for our Multiple Subject Teaching Credential program.
