Overview
Key facts
The B.S. in Childhood Education (American Studies) at Long Island University (LIU) is an exciting interdisciplinary program that invites you to take an active role in shaping your education. Working closely with a faculty advisor, you will create your own curriculum, drawing on a broad range of classes from departments across campus—including history, English, sociology, political science, philosophy, art history, psychology, anthropology, theater, music, education, and earth and environmental sciences.
By examining social and political issues from a variety of perspectives, you will deepen your understanding of the diverse peoples and complex histories that make up the United States. You will not only strengthen the critical thinking, reading and writing skills that are essential for good teaching, but you will also learn to communicate to young students the importance of being an engaged citizen. Students take 30 credits in American Studies to satisfy the liberal arts and sciences requirements for the B.S. in Childhood Education degree program.
