Liberal Studies
The major for future elementary school teachers.
Welcome to Liberal Studies
The Liberal Studies major is designed for future teachers, primarily at the elementary level, but also at the middle school level. Additionally, Liberal Studies prepares students to enter credential programs in Special Education and Bilingual Education (multiple subjects). The course work in the Liberal Studies major closely matches the State of California’s standards for elementary education and serves as excellent preparation for the state-mandated CSET exam, which is required for admission to a credential program in California. The major also provides multiple opportunities for students to gain experience in the field in a variety of settings. At SDSU Liberal Studies is the major for future teachers.
