The Bachelor of Arts degree in Urban Learning is an Integrated Elementary Subject Matter Preparation Program designed to prepare teachers who are grounded in contemporary urban pedagogy and culturally responsive, sustaining, and re-rooting teaching for diverse urban elementary (K-6) or special education (K-12 or birth-22) classrooms. The major combines an interdisciplinary approach to urban learning as a social phenomenon with elementary subject matter courses and teacher preparation leading to a) the Multiple Subject teaching credential (elementary education); b) the Education Specialist (special education) teaching credential in one of four disciplines or; c) dual credentials in elementary and special education (mild to moderate support needs).  Students who satisfy the major and teacher preparation requirements for their chosen option must complete a minimum of 120-135 units to graduate.
