LMU’s original college, BCLA, is a vital part of every student’s academic experience, and its offerings reflect a Jesuit education’s core values. The college offers 20 majors and 27 minors that span the humanities, language, culture and the social sciences, enabling you to develop the powers of observation and insight into people and society that in turn strengthen your analytical and communication skills – traits prized by employers and top graduate and professional schools.

The Center for Undergraduate Teacher Preparation (CUTP) within the School of Education offers great opportunities for students preparing for careers in K-12 teaching. The Center provides matriculation-to-graduation advising and other academic and professional support to students. Students completing a program supported by the Center will achieve both a major in their chosen discipline, as well as fulfill the requirements for a California preliminary teaching credential, which qualifies students to start their teaching career upon graduation. Our credentials are recognized in California and, through reciprocity agreements, in most states across the country.
