Emphasis: English

Degree: Associate in Arts

Total Units: 90-93

Purpose: The Associate in Arts degree with an emphasis in English provides introductory-level and survey courses within the parameters of an English major as that English major is defined at the baccalaureate degree-granting institution to which the student transfers. Most English departments at the baccalaureate level will accept 10-15 units of lower-level English courses as meeting minimum requirements toward a major in English. English units taken at Centralia College beyond the 10-15 acceptable units at the baccalaureate institution will be considered elective units at Centralia and may or may not fulfill English major requirements at the baccalaureate transfer institution.
