English Ed Program Road Map (Catalog year: 2022-23)
First Year Students: Follow Years 1-4; adapt as needed
Transfers: Follow Years 3-4; adapt as needed
- Choices in the first two years are interchangeable, with the exception of GE A2, which should be taken in the first year.
- This road map is set up in 15 unit increments, and is designed to meet GE plus lower division English major requirements in 4 semesters.
- Some find performance improves when the course load is reduced to 12 units per semester. In this case, lower division summer classes can speed time to graduation. Without summer classes, GE completion + lower division major requirements will take 5 semesters: Remove one course from each of the first four semesters and take those in the fifth semester.

Choices in years 3 and 4 are interchangeable unless noted.
- This road map is set up in 15 unit increments, and is designed to meet UDIGE plus upper division major requirements in 4 semesters.
- Some find performance improves by reducing the course load to 12 units/semester. Time to graduation can be made up by taking summer courses when offered by CI (Check the Extended University website for offerings). Otherwise, requirements will take 5 semesters; simply remove one course from each of the first four semesters and take those in the fifth.
- Note that the 12 units of electives that are requirements for the English major are incorporated into the English Ed option and there is no need for an additional 12 units.
- Recommended additional University elective courses for prospective teachers include:
- Complete a minor (15 units of electives free for this; may require additional courses)
