Bachelor of Arts - Liberal Studies

The Liberal Studies Program at CSU Dominguez Hills is the perfect starting point for future educators. This interdisciplinary B.A. is designed for students who plan to become elementary or special education teachers—or who want to build a strong foundation for related graduate studies. CSUDH's courses cover the core subjects taught in elementary schools while providing professional preparation and early fieldwork experience.

A Liberal Studies degree from CSUDH offers a direct pathway into CSUDH's Teacher Education and Special Education programs, where students can earn the preliminary teaching credentials required to teach in California public schools. As a California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC)-approved Elementary Subject Matter Preparation Program (ESM), the department ensures that students graduate ready to move confidently into the classroom and make a lasting impact.
