        English (EG01)<\/h2>\r\nThis degree program is designed to provide students with the skills necessary for a wide range of options. Students will take courses that lead to an Associate of Arts degree while building the foundation for transfer to four-year degrees in English and a variety of other possible fields.\r\n\r\nCourses are offered in College Composition and Advanced Composition, the Humanities, American and British literature, Children\u2019s Literature, Mythology, Crime Fiction, Literature of Horror, and others.\r\n\r\nIn order for a course credit to transfer to a four-year college, students typically must receive a grade of C or better.\r\n\r\nStudents should realize that a high level of reading and critical writing skills are necessary in order to do well in the degree courses. Likewise, students should expect to devote six hours per week outside of class time for each course. (This amount will vary depending on the course requirements and expectations.)\r\n\r\nTransfer program: <\/strong>While an Associate\u2019s Degree in English by itself may not be enough to secure a specific career, the research, critical thinking, and writing skills developed from the courses can help a person become more appealing to multiple types of employers. Students, however, typically use the EG01 degree as the first level in pursuing a BA from a four-year institution.\r\n

              English (EG01)<\/h2>\n

              This degree program is designed to provide students with the skills necessary for a wide range of options. Students will take courses that lead to an Associate of Arts degree while building the foundation for transfer to four-year degrees in English and a variety of other possible fields.<\/p>\n

              Courses are offered in College Composition and Advanced Composition, the Humanities, American and British literature, Children\u2019s Literature, Mythology, Crime Fiction, Literature of Horror, and others.<\/p>\n

              In order for a course credit to transfer to a four-year college, students typically must receive a grade of C or better.<\/p>\n

              Students should realize that a high level of reading and critical writing skills are necessary in order to do well in the degree courses. Likewise, students should expect to devote six hours per week outside of class time for each course. (This amount will vary depending on the course requirements and expectations.)<\/p>\n

              Transfer program: <\/strong>While an Associate\u2019s Degree in English by itself may not be enough to secure a specific career, the research, critical thinking, and writing skills developed from the courses can help a person become more appealing to multiple types of employers. Students, however, typically use the EG01 degree as the first level in pursuing a BA from a four-year institution.<\/p>\n
