2025-2026 University Catalog
Liberal Studies, B.A. - Pre-Credential Subplan/Option: 120 units
|
|
Offered by: College of Education and Integrative Studies, Liberal Studies Department
|
Major Required: 42-43 units
Note(s):
*Students interested in elementary teaching should take KIN 3100 and GSC 2120 /GSC 2120L to meet the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing’s definition of “subject matter competent,” a requirement to enter a teaching credential program. Taking KIN 4430 or GSC 1100 will apply towards graduation but will not provide the subject matter knowledge necessary to qualify as subject matter competent for an elementary education teaching credential program. Students who do not complete these courses are responsible for acquiring the missing content to prepare for the credential program, which will not reteach it. Subplan/Option Required: 35 units
Subplan/Option Electives: 6 units
All subplan/option elective courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better to receive major credit. Any combination of courses listed below will satisfy the required 6 units. Emphases are listed to provide guidance for helping students to choose courses of interest that best fit your career goals, but there is no requirement for choosing a specific emphasis for fulfilling these units. A chosen emphasis in combination with other major courses benefits pre-credential students by demonstrating a concentration in a single subject matter area. Human Development Emphasis
Visual and Performing Arts Emphasis
Unrestricted Electives: 0-15 units
Select a sufficient number of courses so that the total from Major Required, Subplan/Option Required, Subplan/Option Electives, Unrestricted Electives, Graduation Requirements, and GE is at least 120 units. Graduation Requirements: 9 units
American Institutions: 6 units
The CSU requires all students complete coursework in US History, US Government, and California and local Government.

Part A can be satisfied through the completion of coursework both inside and outside of GE, while Part B can be satisfied through the completion of GE Area 4B or by select courses in 4C. If students satisfy these requirements through GE or have satisfied this requirement at a previous institution, Unrestricted Electives may increase by 6 units.
