English Major. CCSF's English major offers a wide variety of language, literature, and writing courses-18 GE transferable units--to serve students with diverse goals, including transfer to U.C., C.S.U., or other four year colleges. English majors will be able to complete most or all of their lower division preparation at CCSF before they transfer but should see a counselor to confirm their program of study.

By taking 6 units of Core Reading and Composition Courses, students will learn techniques to produce clear, precise prose by integrating writing, reading, and research. The required 6 units of Core Surveys of literature in English will ensure students have a broad familiarity with different eras of letarry history; an additional requirement of 6 units of Specialized Literature Courses provides students with an opportunity for more focused study. If students anticipate careers in law, education, communication, writing, government, advertising, or business, the English major should serve them well.
