The mission/purpose of English studies at SCC is to promote literacy by training students to communicate effectively and to develop and apply critical and analytical skills through the study of literature, while focusing on the centrality of language in all human endeavors. The program prepares students by providing an understanding and foundation of various literacies needed for the bachelor's degree experience.
Associate in Arts (A.A.) programs require 44 hours of general education core coursework as well as 21 hours of additional studies to prepare students to continue their education at a four-year institution and/or enter the workplace immediately upon graduation.
Students should contact the four-year institution to which they intend to transfer for assistance in deciding which courses at Southeastern are most appropriate for their major.
Students should also consult with their advisors to help plan a program of study to complete program course work and fulfill the minimum general education competency requirements that must be met prior to graduation.
The Pre-English program is designed for students who have chosen a career in English or related fields and who wish to transfer to a senior college or university to pursue a four-year degree with a major in English. Graduates of this program may decide to pursue careers as writers, editors, or other positions in the field of communications, while others use this set of skills to seek advanced degrees in law, public relations or other specializations. Many students in the English program are preparing for eventual employment as an English or Language Arts teacher in high school or middle school settings.
