English Course Selection

College-level English 1 is required for transfer, AA-T/AA/AS degrees and many certificates. We also offer this class with a non-credit English 215 support course, at no additional cost.

College preparatory courses, English 201A/B, English 202, and English 210 are for students who want to practice reading and writing in a low pressure environment. Non-credit English classes will help students work toward their personal goals as readers and writers, but do not transfer or satisfy degree requirements. Tuition free.
