Program Portfolio: B.A. in Liberal Studies

The Liberal Studies major is designed to provide students with a broadly based liberal arts degree in English, the sciences and math, humanities and fine arts, social sciences, and an area of concentrated study selected by the student. The Liberal Studies major (except the non-credential pattern) satisfies the requirements of the State of California for a Subject Matter Preparation Program to waive the Multiple Subjects Assessment for Teachers (MSAT) for students wishing to enter a Multiple Subjects Credential Program. This credential is necessary to teach in self-contained classrooms (primarily elementary grades).
