English<br />
(Language Arts Department)<br />
The English program offers courses from<br />
the pre-collegiate through the college<br />
sophomore levels to provide students with<br />
a comprehensive foundation for writing,<br />
textual analysis, and critical thinking which<br />
will help them to succeed in composition<br />
and literature courses, as well as enter a<br />
satisfying occupation or profession. The<br />
English program reflects the di<strong>ver</strong>sity<br />
found in the college population and fosters<br />
a strong liberal arts background through<br />
rigorous instruction in literature and its<br />
cultural contexts, including history, philosophy,<br />
politics and religion. Courses are sequenced<br />
appropriately to lead to an A.A.<br />
degree or to uni<strong>ver</strong>sity transfer: English<br />
030, 040 and <strong>10</strong>0 are demonstrably effective<br />
prerequisites for English <strong>10</strong>1 and<br />
<strong>10</strong>1H, and these courses are in turn<br />

the advanced writing courses (<strong>10</strong>2, <strong>10</strong>3,<br />
<strong>10</strong>3H, <strong>10</strong>4).<br />
