Program Overview

The Associate of Arts in English provides broad training for a wide range of academic and professional careers by developing a critical understanding of the human experience across time, place, and cultures. Courses in the program introduce skills for research, analysis, and communication that prepare students for further studies toward a four-year bachelor’s degree and that help students to engage the world in which they serve in thoughtful, constructive, and creative ways.

All students in the Associate of Arts in English take the Open Concentration, which affords them the opportunity to choose classes from a range of literature and writing courses. The online offerings are limited initially but will continue to grow as faculty develop classes for that medium.
