AA Degree: Transfer Major
The Associate Degree in English is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to think critically and write persuasively about literary works in poetry, fiction, and drama. Students can survey major writers in English or American literature, or explore their interest in specific forms such as the novel, poetry, or Shakespeare. The program emphasizes critical analysis and interpretation in all of its courses. The Associate Degree in English prepares students for upper division academic work in literature and for careers in fields requiring critical thinking and persuasive writing, such as teaching, journalism, business, and law.
