The Hutchins School offers a state-approved Multiple Subject Preparation Program for students intending to earn a California Elementary Teaching Credential or an Early Childhood Emphasis Credential. The B.A. pre-credential option ensures interdisciplinary subject matter proficiency as well as possession of the high-level analytic, synthetic, creative and expressive academic skills required of future educators.

Completion of the Liberal Studies Track II option is excellent preparation for entering a graduate-level credential program, either at SSU or elsewhere, for the professional training required for a California teaching credential.

Note: Any student earning a grade lower than a "C" in LIBS 302 will not be allowed to continue in Hutchins.
