Cal Poly has a “4 plus 3 quarters” program for Liberal Studies/Multi-Subject Credential. Since most students only take three quarters per school year, this seems to be a five year program. So it seems CP SLO is one of the three outliers. Here’s a blurb and a link:

B.S. in Liberal Studies / Multiple Subject Credential
To teach elementary school in California, you need a bachelor’s degree and a credential. Liberal Studies at Cal Poly is the undergraduate degree that offers competency in all subject matters as well as pre-requisites for the multiple subject credential program. There are many routes to obtaining a multiple subject credential. Most of these involve an extra year of study at the graduate level. At Cal Poly, students who make an early career decision to seek a multiple subject credential will typically be credentialed in four plus 3 quarter years of educating(15 quarters) rather than the 4 or more quarters the process usually takes.

The Cal Poly Liberal Studies Department specifically targets top-quality early deciders who apply to Cal Poly as freshmen. While attending the university, these students will:

Develop a deeper association over a longer time with faculty, staff and fellow students who share an interest in elementary education.
Have the opportunity to build a deeper understanding of the K-8 community.
Be more effectively socialized in their profession.
