The Liberal Studies emphasis prepares students to transfer as a Liberal Studies major to campuses of the California State University system. This is the bachelor’s degree major students select to prepare as an elementary school teacher and earn a multiple subjects credential. See a counselor for this major – many if not all courses satisfy the general educational pattern.
