English (AA.ENG)
Associate in Arts Degree
The English transfer program emphasizes literature, writing, and related areas and is designed to provide a solid background for work at the junior and senior levels in English.
A student who follows the recommended course sequence for English majors will be able to:
- Use critical thinking, investigation, and reflection to interact with texts and ideas.
- Judge the value of the literary endeavor by identifying, generating, and applying the appropriate critical
vocabulary.
- Explain what motivates people to read and what
motivates writers to produce literary works.
- Examine the cultural and historical factors that influence the reader, writer and text.
- Appraise how literature relates to an understanding
of ourselves and our world.
Consult both the following list of major requirements and an academic advisor before registering, as expectations of English departments at four-year colleges vary. For example, some have a foreign language requirement.
