Associate in Arts Degree in English for Transfer

Miracosta College

Students completing this associate degree will have completed lower-division major preparation requirements for an English degree, an emphasis or option within an English degree, or a degree considered similar to English at a participating California State University (CSU) campus. Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor’s degree however, some CSU campuses may require additional lower-division major preparation. This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as an English major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program. At the conclusion of this program, the student will be able to discern and assess the interconnectedness of literature and human experience, including the ways in which literature defines, shapes, and reflects a culture’s values and mores and write clearly, precisely, and appropriately for a wide range of purposes and audiences.
