Degree Map for English 3-Year Major heading toward Education A.D. (36 credit hours in English)

 This map is based on feedback received from the Faculty of Education. It does not factor in the non-English requirements beyond Liberal Education. 2 ‘teachable areas’ are required, assumed here to be the major and minor. The degree map for 4-yr and 4-yr Honours students thinking of a career in Education would be similar.

Year One (30 credit hours)

• 6 cr hrs of 100-level English literature
  (146 over both terms OR 161 in one term and 162 in the other term)

• 6 cr hrs of 100-level courses in Social Science (Lib Ed requirement)
  (3 cr hrs per term)

• 6 cr hrs of 100-level courses in Science (Lib Ed requirement)
  (3 cr hrs per term)

• 3 cr hrs University Writing in either term
• 9 cr hrs of electives in other courses in Arts or Science

Year Two (30 credit hours)
