Program Description

Contrary to popular opinion, most students who major in English do not become public school teachers, although many do choose a career in teaching. Rather, English majors go into all areas of business and government and wherever else the ability to read and write the English language effectively leads to opportunities for advancement and success. The English major is a widely recognized and respected preparation for graduate degrees in law, medicine, social services, and business. It also provides an excellent foundation for free-lance and broadcast journalism. The academic backgrounds of management personnel in private and public organizations attest to how appropriate the English major is for those who pursue careers in management and administration.

Footnote

Students should consult the section of the University Catalog or Class Schedule dealing with the English Placement Test (see Registration chapter in the University Catalog) before registering for English 1001. Because this is the freshman-level, transferable composition course (for California community colleges, colleges, and universities), students enrolling in the course should, at the time of entry, be able to write brief essays showing adequacy in (1) selection of a controlling idea appropriate to the given writing task; (2) coherent development of that idea to a reasoned conclusion; (3) use of sentences that demonstrate some structural variety and that contain language appropriate to the audience and purpose, and (4) control of the conventions of standard, written English (relative freedom from errors such as fragments, run-together sentences, faulty agreement, and improper pronoun reference) and of mechanics (capitalization, spelling, and punctuation). The work of the course is to strengthen these skills by extensive practice in the writing of expository essays suitable for college-level credit. Students deficient in these prerequisite skills will be advised to take developmental writing courses before enrolling in English 1001.
