English - Associate of Arts
The Associate of Arts in English Program is designed for students who intend to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in English or related field. The required courses and electives will train students to analyze ideas and synthesize them into a research document. Upon completing their coursework, students should be able to make reasoned arguments or write compelling stories. Students in need can use The Writing Center, and some students may have the opportunity to publish their work in OTC’s Go Anywhere Literary Magazine. Graduates will have the necessary academic background to begin upper-division coursework in the discipline. Students planning to transfer should contact the school they will be attending to ensure their credits transfer properly.
