Programs

 B.A. in Liberal Studies

B.A. in Liberal Studies: Concentration in NEXA

Program Scope

The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies requires 124 units for graduation. The 46-unit Liberal Studies major has a multidisciplinary curriculum encompassing all areas of knowledge in the arts and sciences. Students seeking a broad liberal arts background with considerable flexibility in course selection should consider this major. Many employers and professional schools prefer graduates with the type of richly diversified education that this major provides.

Before meeting with an individual adviser, Liberal Studies majors must attend a Liberal Studies workshop on Advising Day or at the Advising Center where workshops are offered on a regular basis. At the workshop, students are introduced to the requirements and receive information and materials about the program and advising. Liberal Studies majors with a touch tone phone may call 338-1510 for a recording containing up-to-date information about advising and special events of interest to Liberal Studies majors.

NEXA offers a concentration within the Liberal Studies major which allows students to pursue the NEXA theme, a convergence of conceptually different disciplines upon a core of common concern that cuts across all disciplines, in depth and with a specific focus.

Facilities

This program is pursued in all areas of the university; facilities used vary according to the individual student's program.

Career Outlook

The Liberal Studies major is applicable to a variety of fields. It is the main avenue of preparation for those desiring to become elementary school teachers; the program's broad interdisciplinary approach provides the broad academic background necessary for teaching in a self-contained classroom. Since the major has considerable flexi-blity, it can be designed to meet a student's personal and academic interests. It can be planned with a particular career in mind, such as in government agencies, in multicultural communities, and in public service. It is appropriate also as preparation for various professions and graduate programs such as business, counseling, law, librarianship, medicine, and social work.

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN LIBERAL STUDIES

As soon as possible after declaring the major, each student must consult with an adviser in the student's chosen Area of Emphasis to discuss the Liberal Studies major, Liberal Studies program (credential candidates), the selection of courses, and the preparation of the planning worksheet.

Each student's planning worksheet must be approved by the area adviser and the Area-of-Emphasis coordinator before the student has completed 110 units and no later than the semester prior to the semester the student plans to graduate. This approved worksheet must be on file in the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies before the graduation application will be signed.

The 85-unit Liberal Studies Program is designed for those students seeking the Multiple Subject Credential. The 46-unit major is a component of the Liberal Studies Program. The other 39 units are in courses which fulfill specific subject matter requirements and some electives. Courses in this component of the Liberal Studies Program are listed under Additional Subject Matter Requirements in the Multiple Subject Matter Preparation Program at the end of the course listings for the major.

Additional informational materials on the major and the program are available from the Advising Center, Liberal Studies area advisers and coordinators, and the Office of Undergraduate Studies.

Courses for this program are listed in alphabetical sequence (consult Index for page reference).

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN LIBERAL STUDIES: CONCENTRATION IN NEXA

 This concentration requires 46 units of course work, culminating in a senior project. NEXA courses in the student's program must include one Concepts course, two Sequences courses, and one Issues course.

The student will develop a specific focus related to the NEXA theme. In order to achieve sufficient depth and competence in the focus of interest, the student will prepare a 3-4 semester study plan. The study plan should define courses relevant to the specific topic, and show how a core group of courses can be integrated around and build toward the proposed theme. The student will work with a NEXA faculty member in the preparation of the study plan. Upon approval of the study plan by the NEXA steering committee, the student will be admitted to the major.

In order to complete the NEXA major, the student will consult with two faculty members: one to help with the study plan and one to help with the senior thesis. On occasion, one faculty person may serve both these functions. The student should consult with the NEXA advising coordinator in order to choose the most appropriate faculty member(s).

The culminating experience of the NEXA concentration, and in many ways the most important part of the major, is the senior thesis. The senior thesis is an in-depth, original exploration of the specific theme (or aspect of the theme) chosen earlier by the student. At the end of the junior year, and with the help of the NEXA advising coordinator, the student will choose a specific faculty member to serve as the thesis adviser. Two other faculty members are chosen to constitute the thesis committee. A thesis proposal which clearly delineates the proposed course of study leading to the thesis is submitted and approved by the NEXA steering

committee. The committee of three advisers is responsible for assisting the student in the preparation of the thesis. Final approval is made by the NEXA steering committee.

Junior Year, First Semester. Student works with an appropriate NEXA faculty member to produce a study plan.

Junior Year, Second Semester. With the aid of the NEXA advising coordinator, the student will choose a faculty member to serve as thesis adviser. The NEXA steering committee must approve the choice of thesis adviser.

Senior Year, First Semester. Completion of thesis proposal. Approval of thesis proposal by NEXA steering committee.

Senior Year, Second Semester. Enrolled in NEXA 698. Thesis completed and approved by the thesis committee. Course work completed.
