About Bachelor of Arts - English - English Education
A major is the part of a degree representing the most concentrated study in a field of knowledge. Completing an English major, however, is not enough for graduation. The Bachelor of Arts at California State University Long Beach presently requires 120 academic units (each unit means about an hour of class for 15 weeks); most English options require 41 (English Education takes 50-57). A B.A. requires a General Education pattern, varying with one’s first year of college, but now consisting of 48 units. 120 units also requires “electives,” such as more classes for an English major, a second or previous major, a minor, a certificate, or exploring other fields beyond GE requirements.
The Option in English Education is designed for prospective secondary English teachers and satisfies the state-mandated requirement in subject matter competence for the Single Subject Teaching Credential. This 55-unit option combines a 43-unit core with a specified emphasis in one of five areas. All five areas of emphasis require that students complete the 43-unit core requirements specified here and take the additional 12 units of breadth and perspective as indicated below. In order to achieve subject matter competency, English Education majors must earn grades of ‘C’ or better in all of their content area coursework. English Education emphases should not be confused with BA options or majors in English or other departments, which have significantly different requirements.
