did i make a mistake? english majors

[iz1212]

<p>im a freshman starting next semester and im thinking about majoring in english. i signed up for eng 45C because i was told you can take 45A, 45B, and 45C in any order, and because the time fit best with my schedule and the professor had the best reviews. but now im looking at the english major requirements and its confusing me. this is what it says:
Major Requirements</p>

<p>I. Foundational Courses. All majors must take English 45A-45B-45C (or upper division paired equivalents, when approved by a major adviser) plus one of the following Shakespeare courses: English 17, 117A, 117B, 117J, or 117S. All these required courses must be taken for a letter grade.</p>

<p>Students may declare the major once they have taken 30 units and completed these two major requirements:</p>

<p>• 45A or 45B; and</p>

<p>• one of the following: Shakespeare (see list above), 45A, 45B, or 45C.</p>

<p>do you think 45C is a bad idea as a freshman? or a bad idea to take it first?</p>

<p>Nope, you’re fine. Most people declare their majors after two years, and you won’t get to 30 units until at least the second semester of your first year anyway, so you have a lot of time to take one of 45A or 45B in order to fulfill the major prereqs.</p>
