Integrated Credential Program (ICP)

The Integrated Credential Program provides students with a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Liberal Studies from the College of Arts and Sciences and a Multiple Subject Credential from the College of Education. The Integrated Credential Program consists of  themed semesters of upper-division and post-baccalaureate courses that are taken in both colleges. It includes all the upper division courses required for the Bachelor of Arts Degree (Liberal Studies major) from the College of Arts and Sciences and all the coursework required for a Multiple Subject Credential from the College of Education.

Each semester students take 9-15 units of required core courses as a cohort.  The core courses are offered in blocks each semester, and students take all courses in the block. The core courses include subject matter courses in the College of Arts and Sciences paired with the appropriate pedagogy courses from the College of Education. The underlying principle of the Integrated Program is for students to study subject matter during the same semester as they study how to teach that subject matter.
