The Department of English faculty subscribes to the idea that the language and literary arts are a basic and a chief way of discovering who we are, especially if “we” is defined broadly to take in the whole of past and present culture as it resides in the English language. We offer students the means of appreciating excellence in the literary language of the past and of developing excellence in their present uses of language. We believe that this experience can enhance a sense of personal identity as that sense is put in relation to “our” manifestations of identity in the past.
TRANSFER MAJOR REQUIREMENTS in English are available in the Counseling Center. Students should consult a counselor and the appropriate college catalog for the transfer requirements. Catalogs of California and out-of-state colleges are located in the Library and the Counseling Center.
ENGLISH
A.A. DEGREE
The English major is awarded for concentrated study in English with an emphasis on literature. Successful completion of the curriculum in English will prepare students for transfer to four-year colleges or universities. The major has been designed to meet lower-division requirements for English majors at most transfer institutions. Students should choose the emphasis or track appropriate to their transfer institution or areas of interest. In all cases, students should consult with a counselor before selecting the core or elective courses to meet the requirements of the transfer institution.
