Liberal Studies: Asian American
Studies courses can be used to meet many of the requirements for
a BA degree in Liberal Studies, especially as the basis for an emphasis
in Ethnic Studies in Area III, Behavioral and Social Sciences. Students
planning to seek a multiple subject credential to teach in the elementary
school grades can use additional Asian American Studies courses
to meet some of the subject matter and general unit requirements.
