Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies – Integrated Teaching Credential Emphasis
Also known as the Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP) Emphasis is designed for students seeking a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies and a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (Elementary Education) at the end of four years, instead of five or more years. It is an intensive 134-unit program, requiring all Liberal Studies coursework to be completed by the end of the Junior Year. The Senior Year is devoted to Teaching Credential Coursework and clinical field experience. There is a specific application process to change major to the ITEP emphasis in the student’s Junior year.
It is recommended that interested students meet with a Faculty Advisor as early as possible to develop a coursework plan and support in monitoring progress. There are five courses students do not take if they are following the ITEP roadmap. The five courses to NOT TAKE without faculty advisement are:
- EDMS 410 - Child Growth and development in the Elementary Years
- EDUC 320 – Education in Modern Society
- LS 110 – Computer Literacy for Educators
- LS 322 – Health Issues in Education
- LS 490 – Capstone
Junior transfers from community colleges may be eligible to apply for ITEP. We encourage transfer students interested in ITEP to work closely with their community college counselors to take the courses required on the ITEP Roadmap prior to transferring to CSUCI. Once you enroll in CSUCI, please consult with Liberal Studies Faculty Advisement.
