The four-year plans presented in this sample plan demonstrate the recommended sequencing and timing of the required and elective components within each major, the assumption each course listed is worth 4 semester units (unless otherwise noted), and that lower and upper division common course GE requirements are maximized in sharing with your major, concentration, and Intellectual Experience Badges.
Completing the 120 units necessary for graduation; should your plan not have a minimum of 120 units planned to be completed, you must add the necessary courses to ensure you complete a minimum of 120 units.
Completing the 120 units necessary for graduation; should your plan not have a minimum of 120 units planned to be completed, you must add the necessary courses to ensure you complete a minimum of 120 units.

Students must complete three courses in Approaches to Knowledge Area B: Social Science, Literary and Textual Analysis, Media and Visual Analysis, Societies and Cultures of the Past GE. One course must be Approaches to Knowledge Area B: Social Science GE.

Department Notes:
- Note: for one survey (ENG 101-104), an approved upper division seminar may be substituted for the survey course.
- Also note: ENG 101 is offered in Even Numbered Falls, ENG 102 is offered in Odd Numbered Springs, ENG 103 is offered in Odd Numbered Falls; ENG 104 is offered in Even Numbered Springs. So some students will take these courses in a different sequence, e.g. 103 and 104 their second year, and 101 and 102 their third year.
