The University of California, Riverside offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. Through the major, students can select from a broad range of courses in social sciences, humanities, natural and physical sciences, and the fine arts to receive a wide-ranging education.

Liberal Studies is the major of choice at UCR for students interested in careers in elementary school education. Under the federal legislation, No Child Left Behind,all prospective teachers must be "highly qualified" by demonstrating proficiency in their subject matter. The Liberal Studies major includes a core of lower-division courses designed to provide students with broad subject matter coverage to give them the foundation needed to pass the CSET and enable them to be well prepared to teach. The five upper-division tracks allow students to build upon their strengths and interests and at the same time provide them with a connection to the core Education courses.
