Overview
APU’s liberal studies major equips students to educate our nation’s future leaders. The degree provides a solid foundation in disciplines such as language/literature, mathematics, science, social sciences, humanities, and religion, along with human growth and development, diversity in the classroom, and introductory teaching concepts. Students then choose one of nine concentrations that they wish to teach: art, English, math, music, physical education, psychology, science, social science, or Spanish.
Students can complete half of their California teaching credential requirements in their senior year. Liberal studies majors leave APU prepared to make a difference in students’ lives.
