The above plan assumes the following:

• Category VI “Language Other Than English” only needs one course.
• Cetegory I Upper Division Writing is met by earning a grade of “C” or higher in PH 195W.
• Assumes that a Minor will require (9) additional courses
• Electives courses may fulfill UCI units or requirements for a double major.

Additional notes:

1. In place of the elective courses, we strongly recommend PHP students complete one of the many minors UCI has to offer.
2. PHP degree requirements are required to be taken for a letter grade. Some General Education courses can be taken pass/no pass. Pleases consult the UCI Catalogue for more information.
3. 180 UCI units are required to graduate. Students may not need as many electives as noted above if they enter with AP/IB credit or previous college coursework.
4. Research is encouraged, but not required.
