English/Language Arts Overview
Four credits of English/Language Arts are required for students to graduate from CMASAS. Students have a choice in how they meet these requirements. One option is to take the integrated English I, II, III, and IV sequence. However, another option is to take individual semester courses, piecing together a language arts program that still covers all the recommended competencies in a comprehensive language arts program. Most colleges are looking for evidence that you have read a variety of literature. It is best to include American Literature and two other areas of literature with at least one being from outside the U.S. such as World Literature, British Literature, and Shakespeare.
