Notes
a) Students must realize that only the largest school systems support high school communication departments or magnet schools. A communication certification does not qualify a student for an English teaching position.
b) Students are encouraged to select writing courses from the journalism and writing option on page 105.
c) COM/ENG 489 does not count toward major requirements but toward students’ professional studies in education.
