#R.5301.AA-

This is a transfer degree for English majors at Reedley College,

Willow/international Center, Madera Center, and Oakhurst

site students. Completion of this major allows students to

transfer to CSU as a junior.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a Bachelor’s

degree in English leads to employment in adult education,

remedial education, literacy, and GED teaching. Other

fields that employ English majors include counseling,

editing, interpreting, translation, and K-12 teaching. A BA

in English is also considered a rigorous, complementary

education for careers in the legal profession including lawyers,

paralegals, judges, and clerks. (Some professions require

further certification, testing or degrees.) Jobs in the teaching

profession are expected to increase by 15% in 2012-2014.

To obtain the Associate in Science Degree in English for

Transfer, students must complete the following:

• Completion of the following major requirements

with grades of 2.0 or better

grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better.
