  Mission

 

 

The English Department offers composition and literature courses to fulfill program and transfer requirements as well as developmental courses to prepare students for success in college. We further the college's mission by helping students acquire the communication skills necessary for academics and careers. Courses in reading, writing, and speech communication prepare students to think critically and learn how to learn. The Department emphasizes the following learning goals:

  • To write effectively for audiences in both academic and workplace settings
  • To apply critical judgment in reading fiction and non-fiction
  • To develop creativity in written expression
  • To evaluate the complexity of human experience through reading, writing, and oral presentation
  • To recognize local, national, and international perspectives in communication
  • To employ current technology for effective research and purposeful communication
  • To understand the role of ethical standards in problem solving
