Liberal Studies will complete a program review in 2014-2015. This is simultaneous with its curricular revision for the semester calendar beginning in Fall 2016. A program review can be just a "task" or it can be an opportunity to revisit goals and objectives in a fundamental way. The same is true for conversion from a quarter term calendar to a semester calendar. To get some sense of the Liberal Studies sense of program revitalization, check out the transformation statement that has been submitted for curricular review to the School, the General Education Committee, and the Academic Senate.
The proposed Liberal Studies program includes two concentrations: the Credential Concentration, for students who hope to become teachers and pursue their teaching credentials, and the General Concentration, for students who want a broad liberal arts education but aren’t necessarily planning to go into teaching.
