The Liberal Studies Program at CSU East Bay aims to provide students with a solid liberal arts education, one that allows for breadth plus a degree of specialization. Students in the major receive a rich educational experience through coursework in a broad range of academic disciplines. By introducing students to the key disciplines in the arts, sciences, and social sciences while simultaneously allowing opportunities for students to investigate a particular subject area or discipline in depth, the Liberal Studies Major provides students with a knowledge base and the communication and analytical skills appropriate to many careers and occupations. Moreover, the Liberal Studies Department plays a major role in carrying out the university’s responsibility to train elementary school teachers. In conjunction with the School of Education and Allied Studies, the Liberal Studies Program works to prepare aspiring teachers and educators to become leaders for the twenty-first century. |
