The English Department provides a progression of courses which build essential skills for virtually every career or profession while also offering the basic transfer requirements for most colleges and universities in the country. Pierce College's English courses expose students to the ideas, skills, and passages from literature which underpin a liberal arts education.
The broad range of offerings provides basic foundation courses such as introductory composition and literature, as well as specialized classes in technical writing and courses focusing on major authors. Other offerings such as American studies, surveys in fiction, poetry, drama, creative writing, developmental composition, reading improvement, ethnic literature, and a variety of special study courses boost the variety and dimension of opportunities that transfer students find through Pierce College's English Department.
Students planning to transfer as English majors should complete AAS degree requirements and must check with transfer institutions regarding specific requirements. English majors may find dozens of special emphasis programs at four-year institutions and should work closely with faculty advisors at Pierce and at the transfer institution to plan an overall program of study that meets individual program needs as well as personal interests.
