Liberal Studies

"Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow 
 belongs only to the people who prepare for it today."
Malcolm X

Program Description

The Liberal Studies Program at Cal State East Bay offers a rich liberal arts educational experience through selected courses from a wide range of academic disciplines, while allowing students to select a field for in-depth study of their own interest. The broad-based, interdisciplinary nature of Liberal Studies provides a solid well-rounded undergraduate educational experience, integrating knowledge from arts and humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, with analytical and communication skills well suited for many careers and professions. 

The major consists of a common core and a choice from three concentrations, designed to meet diverse student interests and needs for teaching in schools, leadership in government, nonprofit organizations, and business, and for graduate education in law, counseling, social work and services, public affairs and administration, and educational leadership.
