Liberal Studies                         Clip art of Super Grade A+ Teacher

The liberal studies program is dedicated to assisting students who plan a future as a K-12 teacher. Students attend lecture sections to discuss the educational system, including exposure to state standards for curriculum. In addition, liberal studies students are required to spend 3 hours per week in a K-8 setting, observing the teacher-student interaction and interacting with students themselves.

Mandatory Orientation:

Liberal Studies allows you to get a head start towards your future in K-8 teaching.  Liberal Studies 10 and 20 are accepted at CSU, Stanislaus in place of their Liberal Studies 1000 and 2000.
