Completion of the pre-credential liberal studies option waives the need to take the Multiple Subject Assessment for Teachers examination (MSAT), and is excellent preparation for entering a graduate-level credential program, either in the School of Education at SSU or elsewhere, for the professional training required for a California teaching credential. Waiver students are required to take the C-Base Exam, an academic subject area diagnostic test. Information concerning the schedule and fee can be obtained in the Hutchins School office in Carson Hall 44.

Questions about admissions requirements for the credential program should be directed to the School of Education at Sonoma State University.

Note: Students entering the Hutchins upper division Track II program must have a grade point average of at least 2.60. Any student earning a grade lower than a "C" in LIBS 302 will not be allowed to continue in Hutchins.
