Credential Program Information

Most Liberal Studies students enroll in a credential program subsequent to earning their BA, with many choosing to pursue their credential through SDSU’s award winning College of Education. Preparing for a credential involves many steps, most of which require time and money. For the best credential program advising, students should contact the credential program at the university where they intend to enroll.
