An English major might find employment as a teacher, a writer, or an editor of magazines, books, or advertising, or might plan to enter a profession requiring a graduate degree for which a background in English is desirable, such as law or librarianship. English courses are designed to provide students who plan to major in English, as well as other college students, with opportunities to improve their written and visual communications.
Since programs differ at each college, students who intend to transfer should consult program outlines published by the college or university. The following recommended courses prepare students for most baccalaureate institutions. Students should prepare their quarterly schedules with the assistance of an advisor knowledgeable in this transfer area.
