Program Overview

International Year One

International Year One allows students to take credited SF State preparation courses alongside additional academic and English language instruction. The vast range of credit courses on offer allows first-year students to both discover new fields and further explore already strong subjects.

Once International Year One is completed, students proceed directly to their second year of degree study at SF State.

Leading to Bachelor of Arts in English

English Education is a concentration within the English BA. It allows students to develop the subject-matter knowledge (known as “subject-matter competency”) required to enter credential programs to become English Language Arts teachers at the secondary level, in a middle or high school. For this reason, the program includes a wide range of courses: in literature; in the theory and practice of literacy teaching and learning; and in linguistics, composition, and communication. Students also complete 45 hours of service learning in local public schools. In addition to the 45-unit program, students choose one area of extended study (an “emphasis area”) from the following choices: Literature, Linguistics, Creative Writing, or Theater Arts. Candidates pursuing an emphasis in the latter will earn a minor in Theater Arts as well as the English Education B.A. The program culminates with students creating a digital portfolio to reflect on, synthesize, and showcase their learning.

To gain a waiver from the state exam, the California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET), students need to maintain a B level grade or above in all major courses. Individuals who want to become teachers who do not fulfill the English Education concentration can establish English subject-matter competency by passing the CSET.
