Plan of Study

The following is a plan of requirements to complete this Certificate of Proficiency in 1 year. Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work, Advanced Placement (AP), or other institutions’ concurrent enrollment credits. Math and English placement will be based on the student’s appropriate placement scores. If developmental courses are required, they should be taken in the student’s first semester.

NOTE: This plan assumes the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semesters may be required to complete this degree.

Meet with the Academic Program Advisor and consult DegreeWorks for specific degree requirements.

Advising Notes

This certificate of proficiency is intended for students majoring in other areas or returning professionals and is therefore set within a two-semester (9 credit each) pathway. Students could spread the certificate over multiple semesters or complete it in one (though, a single semester would be challenging to navigate so many different types of writing at the same time). It is advised that the three courses in the First Semester above be taken before the others.

Courses that fulfill other degree requirements:

  • For students seeking an AAS, ENGL 1030  fulfills the HR requirement.
  • For students seeking an AA/AS:
    • ENGL 2010  or ENGL 2100  fulfills the second course requirement in the EN core-skills sequence.
    • BUS 2200  fulfills the COM distribution requirement.
