Recommended basic skills standards are
To major in English in the new millennium is to do more than select a profession; it is to identify one’s vocation. Whether students decide someday to specialize in rhetoric and composition, literary criticism, or creative writing, or to become journalists, songwriters, screenwriters, or teachers of English, they will learn to promote literacy and thoughtful dissent in contemporary society. They will learn that connections between life and literature are basic to living in and understanding a complex global community.
English majors interested in education, literature, or professional writing should contact their four-year transfer institution for recommendations concerning elective courses. Students can select an English AA course of study in Literature, Professional Writing & Communication or a combination of both.
Courses marked with an asterisk [*] are not currently offered at PPCC.
