Whether you plan to enter the sciences, a business or technical field or the liberal arts, your career success will be enhanced by strong communication skills. A student working toward a bachelor’s degree can choose between two associate degree programs at LBCC: the Associate of Science or the Associate of Arts (Oregon Transfer). English majors planning to transfer to Oregon State University are advised to complete the AS degree. It is designed to mirror requirements at OSU, allowing you to transfer to OSU as an English major, a liberal studies major, a writing minor, or as a student in the Interdisciplinary Multimedia program. If you plan to transfer to the University of Oregon or any other state college, you should consider completing the AAOT degree.
Students interested in earning an AS with an emphasis in English may choose either a Literature, Creative Writing or Technical Communication option, which will prepare them to enter the workforce or transfer to a four-year college or university. The Technical Communication option provides specialized classes in technical writing, graphic design for publication and a foundation in grammar and style.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in English will:
Recognize how literature helps in understanding the human condition.
Interpret literary works through critical reading.
Demonstrate how literature enhances personal awareness and creativity.
Write and speak confidently about your own and others’ ideas.
Students who successfully complete the Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in English–Technical Communications will:
Write and speak persuasively in a variety of formal and informal professional settings.
Critically read, research, write and document technical materials.
Plan, organize, develop and present complex projects.
Use computer applications to present technical information.
Design documents to meet a specific audience’s needs.
Work and learn independently and collaboratively.
Program Requirements
The English program welcomes students at all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. However, to complete your Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in English within a two-year period, you will need to attend as a full-time student and you will need to meet prerequisite skills in math and writing as measured by LBCC’s Placement Test. Test scores that require you to take pre-college courses in math and writing will extend this two-year estimate.
All writing classes numbered above WR 121 require successful completion of WR 121 as a prerequisite.
