2020-2021 General Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Track III: Blended Program (4 year accelerated plan B.A. Plus Multiple Subject Credential), B.A.


The Blended Program incorporates the lower-division Hutchins General Education program and the basic course work for Track II with courses from the School of Education beginning in the junior year, allowing students to complete a B.A. in Liberal Studies and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential in a 135 unit plan. Only first semester freshman are eligible for Blended Track III. See sample four year plan for Bachelor Arts in Liberal Studies with teaching credential, Track III. Students in Blended commit to a unit intensive, course prescriptive, accelerated plan designed to be completed in four years.

Blended: Track III students are held to the same credential program requirements as traditional credential candidates. These include maintaining a 3.00 GPA, passing CBEST spring of freshman year, and passing CSET: Multiple Subjects spring of junior year before student teaching senior year. Students in good standing with Hutchins who do not continue in Blended have the option to enroll in our Track II: Pre-Credential Elementary Teaching Preparation pathway. Track II students may start a credential program after completion of the Bachelor’s Degree. For Multiple Subjects credential requirements, please refer to School of Education  catalog information.
