About Four Year Plans
Four year plans help students to see how the degree can be completed in four years. They are not meant to dictate what specific courses students will take. The English major is very flexible, as is the general education program, and students can meet their requirements with many different combinations of courses. The plans list the name of each requirement and then a course that could meet that requirment. Requirements written in bold type should be completed in the particular semester shown. If a course is also shown in bold type, students must take that specific course. Otherwise, students can complete a particular requirement with any course that meets that requirement and in any semester, as long as all prerequisites have been satisified. It is suggested that students finish the lower division major requirements by the end of the fourth semester, finish the general education common core by the 4th or 5th semester, and take the UD major requirements throughout the 4th through 8th semesters, with the senior seminars in the final two or three semesters.
