Liberal Studies B.A. ~ Faculty and Student QuotesThe courses at CSUMB were very educational. I got to learn a lot. I believe it was the delivery of the teachers who got me to listen. To the staff and instructors of the Liberal studies Department, I just wanted to say thanks for an awesome learning experience. Multiculturalism and LS rocks! I attended [another CSU campus] concurrently with CSUMB and feel that I can justifiably say that CSUMB is infused with multicultural education and that [another CSU campus] is just decorated with it. Looking back I realize I was also way more prepared for the CSET and the CBEST because of CSUMB's Liberal Studies major. The classes required teach you everything you need to know for the tests, specifically the CSET. All of the LS courses helped me to prepare as a future teacher and to be a better person in the community. The department boasts a closeknit group of professors from wide-ranging backgrounds and specialty areas who do applied work in the local community and bring that depth of experience into their classes. We are particularly sensitive to the needs of students, and provide our own Advising Center where they are most welcome! As I finish my third week of the master's program at UCSC, I thought I should tell you how well prepared I have been for the coursework here. As many of my classmates are struggling with issues regarding culture, equity and diversity, I find myself continually contributing information that I received from classes at CSUMB… I am well on my way to being the teacher that I have always wanted to be, and feel that I owe a tremendous amount of thanks to you and the other Liberal Studies faculty for the preparation I received while attending CSUMB. Please continue to challenge students as you challenged me… |
