Roadmap Transfer - 2 year: English: Education Option, B.A.

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Roadmaps provided by Program in their Program Mod.

From English: We have decreased the units for English Education Option in English to remove a 3-unit course that is already a prerequisite for the credential program and to concur with updated state requirements for English Education preparation. We encourage students to double major in this and another degree program. We have adjusted our curriculum scheme in alignment with our 2024 Culture of Assessment Activities and Program Review MOU.
