Associate in Arts (AA) English

Reading, writing and other English skills are important for success in every course you’ll take at CCC. So, it’s a good idea to take an English course as early as possible–preferably your first semester.

The Associate in Arts in English for Transfer (AA-T) degree will help individuals achieve their academic and career goals through developing strong writing and revising skills, research skills, critical reading skills, discussion skills, and the overall ability to organize and present ideas. The AA-T degree in English will provide courses for students so that they may succeed at college level writing by composing effective paragraphs and essays, fulfill the writing requirements for a two-year degree program and prepare students for success into a baccalaureate degree in English with lower-division coursework required to transfer into the California State University (CSU) system.
