Program Description	The Liberal Studies Major aims to provide a rich educational experience through coursework in a broad range of academic disciplines. There are two tracks to the B.A. degree major in Liberal Studies. The Credential Track is designed for future elementary (K-8) teachers. The General Track is intended for those with other goals who desire a broad exposure to the arts, humanities, sciences, and social science fields that comprise a true liberal education. Differences between the two tracks are small, so that it is easy to change from one to the other. In either track, the student is guaranteed a breadth of academic experience, as well as depth in a single field. The Blended Liberal Studies/Credential Program offers selected students interested in a teaching career an opportunity for concurrent subject matter and professional preparation. See the "Blended Liberal Studies/Credential Program" section later in this chapter.   The broad-based, interdisciplinary nature of Liberal Studies provides a knowledge base and the communication and analytical skills appropriate to many careers and occupations. Hence, the Liberal Studies major is excellent preparation not only for teaching, but for graduate work, for law school, and for employment in business and government.   Note: The Liberal Studies program requirements will be revised effective 2004. Contact the Liberal Studies Program office for additional information (MI 4055; 510-885-3852), or visit the Liberal Studies website at: www.csuhayward.edu/undergrad_majors/liberal_studies.html

Features	Although the program is large and complex, remember that it incorporates all General Education requirements. All university graduation requirements can be completed within the structure of the Liberal Studies major.   The Credential Track is an approved Multiple Subject Matter Preparation Program. Although the Liberal Studies program is an approved multiple subject matter preparation program, there is no longer an exemption from the multiple subject test, which is now the CSET or "California Subject Exam for Teachers" (no longer the MSAT).   The primary function of the Liberal Studies Office is to provide proper advising. Friendly, experienced office staff and faculty and staff advisors are available to help at every step. Advising is available through individual appointments and on a "drop-in" basis.   The Liberal Studies major is offered both day and evening, and on both the main Hayward campus and at the Contra Costa Campus. However, Contra Costa and evening-only students will not find a full range of courses and options available to them.   Liberal Studies is also one of the majors available through the Cal State Hayward Program for Accelerated College Education (PACE). For information, call the PACE office at (510) 885-PACE (7223). Also, see information about PACE in the Welcome to Cal State Hayward chapter and in the Student Services chapter in the front of this catalog.   Credential Track students, including students in the Blended Liberal Studies/Credential Program, are subject to special requirements for field experience in the schools which include a journal of the field experience, observations and reflections. Further information on these requirements is available from the Liberal Studies Office.
Preparation	For transfer students, the best preparation for Liberal Studies is General Education coursework that may be counted in Area I, Foundations. Liberal Studies welcomes inquiries from community college counselors, and potential transfer students may call for informal, pre-admission advising.
Major Requirements (B.A.)	The Credential Track consists of a minimum of 164-182 units; the General Track consists of a minimum of 153-166 units; the B.A. degree requires a total of 180 units. General Education-Breadth Requirements are subsumed in the Liberal Studies major. The U.S. history, U.S. Constitution, and the state and local government requirement can be satisfied by completion of the Liberal Studies major. Students must be certain to select courses satisfying this requirement which also meet major requirements or they will take extra courses. In addition, every student must satisfy the University Writing Skills requirement and the residence, upper division, and grade point average requirements.

All options except Childhood Studies in the Blended Program involve coursework totaling 23-28 units, similar to a minor. Liberal Studies majors may substitute any regular minor offered by the university in place of the option. However, for those on the Credential Track the choice should be made carefully, in consultation with an advisor, to be sure that it is appropriate for future work as a teacher. An option (except Childhood Studies in the Blended Program) or a minor must include at least 23 units not counted in any other Area of the major; the same is true for additional options or minors. No course taken CR/NC may be used in the option. The following Liberal Studies options are available through the program:   African American Studies, Anthropology, Art, Bilingual/Cross Cultural Studies, Business Studies, Childhood Studies (open only to students in the Blended Liberal Studies/Credential Program), Dance, Early Childhood Studies, Economics, English, Environmental Studies, Ethnic Studies, Geography, History, Human Development, Integrative Science, Kinesiology, Language Studies, Latin American Studies, Life Sciences, Mass Communication, Mathematics, Modern Languages, Music, Philosophy, Physical Sciences, Political Science, Psychology, Recreation, Sign Language, Sociology, Special Education, Speech Communication, Speech Pathology and Audiology, Statistics, Theatre, Women's Studies   Other Graduation Requirements   A.  G.E.

See list of approved courses in this Catalog and in the Class Schedule. (Also see Areas I.F and I.J above.)   F.  University Writing Skills Requirement. (See B.A./B.S. Degree Requirements chapter.)   Blended Liberal Studies/Credential Program The Blended Liberal Studies/Credential Program combines, with minor changes, two outstanding programs on the Hayward and Concord campuses designed for future elementary school teachers: the Liberal Studies B.A. major (Credential Track) and the Multiple Subject Credential Program. The Blended Program meets the requirements set by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for subject matter and professional preparation. A student who completes this program will be granted a B.A. degree major in Liberal Studies and, upon passage of the RICA examination, a Level I (Preliminary) Multiple Subject teaching credential.   The Blended Program does not replace the existing Liberal Studies major or the traditional sequence of four years of undergraduate work and one year of graduate work in the Teacher Education Department. That degree/credential path continues to exist and is chosen by most of our students. Rather, the Blended Program is an alternative path that allows selected students to complete in four calendar years an academic and professional program that combines subject matter coursework with training in educational methods and experience in the elementary school classroom. Students will take courses in ethics, social policy, ethnic experience, language acquisition, American history, and science concurrently with sociological foundations of education, bilingual methods, math methods, social studies methods, and science methods. Students in the program are required to select Childhood Studies as their option in Area VII of the Liberal Studies major. The Blended Program incorporates General Education requirements, and all university graduation requirements can be completed within the structure of the Liberal Studies major.   The lower division portion of the Blended Program can be completed in two years, but students are free to take a longer time if necessary. However, the upper division portion of the Blended Program is a full-time commitment for two years including the intervening summer. It is difficult to hold down a job during the junior and senior years. During those years, students are required to take 17 to 18 units a quarter. Final admission requirements for the Credential Program must be completed during the junior year. During the senior year, students are members of a Multiple Subject Team. Members of the Team take their courses together and finish together. Thus students are unable to move through the program at their own pace.   Admission Students must declare Liberal Studies as their major and then contact the Liberal Studies office to apply for admission to the Blended Program. Admission is a two stage process: (1) provisional admission during the summer prior to the student's junior year, and (2) final admission at the end of the junior year.   Provisional admission requirements are: completion of a minimum of 21 courses to a maximum of 25 courses in the Liberal Studies major; a minimum GPA of 2.90; completion of T ED 1500 or equivalent course which requires a minimum of 20 hours of field experience in an elementary school classroom; and three letters of recommendation, including one from a teacher or principal verifying experience in a K-8 classroom. (One letter may be from the instructor in T ED 1500 or equivalent course.) Final admission requirements are: passage of the CBEST examination; completion of 80% of the Liberal Studies major; a minimum GPA of 2.90 in coursework taken during the junior year; and an admission interview by the Multiple Subject Credential Team Leader.   Please contact the Liberal Studies office for information concerning admission forms, admission deadlines, and for the specific courses required during the junior and senior years.
