"Old" Liberal Studies Major
For students who entered the University or declared the major BEFORE Fall 2005
- Major
The Liberal Studies major offers a broad liberal education. The first two years introduce students to the traditional areas of learning and attempt to provide them with an understanding of their interrelationships.
During the junior and senior years, students select at least two fields of concentration. The purpose is to provide a focus for students' educational interests that enables them to acquire competence in the methodology and goals of two fields of concentration by extending and deepening investigations begun during the first two years.
Concentration requirements are sufficiently flexible to enable students to prepare for graduate or professional school training as well as pursue their interests in other areas.
- Concentrations
At the junior level (90 units) you are required to select your MAJOR (24 units) and MINOR (16 units) areas of CONCENTRATION. Each concentration includes required pre-requisites and students are held for any specific pre-requisites attached to the individual upper-division courses chosen. To see the list of concentrations, and their requirements, click the link above.

Education Abroad Program (EAP)
EAP is an excellent opportunity to learn more about another country and its culture
while taking courses which earn credit toward graduation. In addition to yearlong
programs, a wide range of shorter options are also available. While on EAP, students
are still eligible for financial assistance. Students are advised to plan to
study abroad well in advance so as to ensure that the courses taken fit with
their overall program back at UCR. Students are encouraged to participate in
the EAP. Appropriate course work taken abroad may count toward major requirements.
For further detail see the University of California's EAP website at http://eap.ucop.edu/ or

Center at (951) 827- 4113.
