| Welcome!
LIBERAL STUDIES is an
interdisciplinary program developed specifically to prepare students to teach in
the Elementary grades (N,K-6), in the Middle grades (6-8), both Elementary and
Middle grades, or in Special
Education. The major in Liberal Studies provides a solid background in the main content areas
taught in Elementary and Middle Schools: the social sciences, language
arts, mathematics, and the sciences.
Faculty from a variety of Arts and
Sciences disciplines have worked with faculty from the College of Education
and Human Services to design the program and coordinate it with the sequence
of education courses leading to N,K-6 (Elementary), 6-8 (Middle), and Special Education endorsement. The program provides a rich background to the Standards of Learning taught
in Virginia Schools. It is also designed to develop broadly informed individuals
who understand contemporary issues, and will provide civic and professional
leadership.
