Sample Four Year Program in English, with Secondary Teaching Licensure
The English major for Middle School and Secondary Teaching is the recommended major for students who intend to teach Language Arts at the secondary level. See the UNC Catalog, 2000-2001, p. 69, for the full program description.
The following schedule includes all prescribed and recommended general education. General education categories (e. g., 4d) are shown in parentheses following the course that satisfies the requirement in that category.
Courses listed below, whether in the major or in the general education program, which are followed by an asterisk (*) are chosen from a list of options. For the complete list of possibilities that satisfy that particular requirement, consult the full program description in the UNC Catalog, 2000-2001, p. 69 for the major, pp. 19-22 for general education.
There are a few prerequisites in the program that must be honored. You must take ENG 122, for example, before ENG 225. Prerequisites are indicated in course descriptions in the UNC Catalog.
Within reason, other courses may be take in different semesters or even different years than shown in this sample. But you should select courses in an orderly way (with most lower level courses in the first two years and most upper level in the last two).
The exception is the STEP program, shown in boldface, which is a prescribed program, including the order in which courses are taken.
