Bachelor of Arts in English: Concentration in Literature

San Francisco State University

The Bachelor of Arts in English typically includes introductory coursework in the study of language, the principles of critical investigation and critical writing, and the various methods of literary and/or language study. The requirements for each concentration are intended to make each student familiar with one of the principal areas of English studies and to show how other areas of English studies can illuminate his or her area of concentration. Students considering teaching in the secondary schools should see a departmental credential advisor before planning their program. Specific courses and an assessment of competencies are required for admission to the Secondary Education Credential program. English majors with concentrations in Literature, Linguistics, or Individual Major are required to complete a 45 unit program consisting of six units of lower division prerequisites, 15 units of core requirements, 21 units in an area of concentration, and three units of culminating experience. English majors with a concentration in English Education must complete six units of lower division prerequisites, 12 units of core requirements, between 23 and 26 units in the concentration (including three units of culminating experience), plus 12 to 22 units in an area of emphasis.
