Writing and Literature

The English Department offers an A.A. degree in Writing and Literature. The program is designed for students who wish to major or minor in English at 4-year colleges and are considering careers demanding special proficiency in writing and reading, such as journalism, creative writing, professional writing, or teaching English. The Writing and Literature Program may also benefit students who wish to pursue majors other than English but intend to enter professions, such as law or business, in which advanced literacy and writing ability are valuable. Students in the program will receive the first two years of a broad liberal arts education with special attention to their development as writers and to their knowledge of literature.
