The Liberal Studies/Undergraduate Education K-8 Program offers a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies, approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to prepare undergraduate students seeking careers as elementary school teachers with the breadth of content knowledge needed to teach in a K-8 setting. The liberal studies degree provides future elementary school teachers with opportunities to teach up to a basic ninth-grade level subject(s), and to take the California Subject Examination for Teachers: Multiple Subject (CSET).
