Program of Study
English is the appropriate concentration for students who plan to major in English, writing, literature, journalism, or other related fields. In order to complete this concentration, students should select 12 hours from the following courses under the concentration. These are in addition to courses used to meet the college general requirements and the Ohio Transfer Module (OTM).
To make an informed selection of Arts & Humanities, Social Science, and Natural Science electives, Terra advises the transfer-intending student to consult the receiving institution to ensure maximum transferability and application of credits.
Terra faculty recommendations for this degree include the following:
Arts & Humanities – ART 1010 or ART 1030;
HUM 1010; MUS 2110; PHL 1010;
Social Sciences: HIS 1010 or HIS 1020; HIS 1050 or HIS 1060; PLS 1000 or PLS 1100; SOC 2500.
Recommended science courses include 100-level environmental science, chemistry, and physics classes.
Since many four-year universities require a foreign language component, it is recommended that the student pursuing this degree consider up to 16 semester hours and competencies through the second year level in a foreign language. Students should contact their transfer institution to determine their foreign language requirements.
All students graduating from Terra State Community College with an Associate degree of any kind will be functionally proficient in common computer operations and applications. Please see your academic advisor or academic division office for further details.
To determine when courses are scheduled, see program curriculum sheet which is available from the Enrollment Services office in Building A/Room 100, from the Liberal Arts and Public Services Division, Building A/Room 202.
