Policy Statement - 91-01 Liberal Studies, BA in

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN LIBERAL STUDIES

The Liberal Studies major provides a rich, rigorous and integrated cross-disciplinary liberal arts program of study to meet the differing but related needs of two distinct populations: (1) Those with professional aspirations in the field of elementary education and (2) Those with more varied professional aspirations and career goals who would prefer a sound generalist program of study to one requiring early specialization. 

The program of study for the Liberal Studies Major is composed of two parts: A Core and a Concentration. There are two program tracks in the Liberal Studies Major, each with its own Core and related Concentrations. 

Track I of the Liberal Studies Program is designed for those individuals who seek the preprofessional subject matter preparation for elementary school teaching consistent with the standards established by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. 

Track II of the Liberal Studies Program is designed for those individuals who seek a rich, nonspecialized, multidimensional and cross-disciplinary course of studies as a foundation for a wide range of academic and career opportunities. 

I.TRACK I (code 2-0100) 

The minimum unit requirement for the Liberal Studies Major, Track I, is 116 units which includes both Core and Concentration. University General Education requirements are satisfied upon completion of the requirements of this major. 

The Track I Core consists of a minimum of 101 units distributed across six areas: I. Language Studies (minimum 22 units); II. Mathematics (minimum 9 units); III. Natural Sciences (minimum 13 units); IV. History and Social Sciences (minimum 24 units); V. Arts and Humanities (minimum 15 units) and VI. Learning and Well- Being (minimum 18 units). 

The Track I Concentration consists of 15-16 units of integrated course work in a thematic area of inquiry complementary to the Core and consistent with the professional goals of those in this track. Twelve of these units will be at the upper division (300- 400) level.
