Undergraduate Pathway Programs

Whether you want to teach students in elementary, middle, or high school, you have the opportunity to play an important role in the lives of youth, setting the foundation for academic and personal skills.  

Our undergraduate programs put you on path to becoming a teacher by preparing you for the classroom, in addition to the tests that are necessary to get your credential. With diversity, inclusion and equity in mind, we bridge educational theory with hundreds of hours of practical fieldwork experience, pre-service with in-service education, and the University with the school community. 


To Teach Elementary Education

The Liberal Studies Elementary Education Integrated Teacher Preparation program is the only School of Education program that allows you to earn a Bachelor of Arts (in Liberal Studies) and a multiple subject teaching credential at the same time in four years. 

Guided and supported by faculty, you’ll develop a sense of the teaching profession and an understanding of children and how to shape learning experiences to support them. By graduation, you’ll be prepared to work as a teacher with a full kit of teaching tools and a sense of your teaching style.
