Schools with good Education/Liberal Studies programs?

<p>Okay, so I need some really good LACs or just schools with really good Education departments. </p>

<p>I'd like to stay in California or even just West Coast
I don't really mind size, but I'd like it to have at least 4 or 5,000 students.</p>

<p>Well, you could try Concordia Irvine. The Concordia schools have really nice placement programs for teachers. But keep in mind that they're quite religious, and not right for everyone. </p>

<p>Aside from that, I can't think of any particulars that come to mind. </p>

<p>I would probably save money and go to a public, since paying off privates as a teacher might be a bit frustrating. If you want something slightly smaller than the UCs, look at the more LAC-like publics, such as Sonoma State.</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>I actually happen to be religious, but I hadn't looked at Concordia at all.</p>

<p>Loyola Marymount has a whole school of education.</p>
