English
English is much more than just dangling participles, adverbs, and semicolons. It’s a broad area of study that includes many disciplines, such as composition, humanities, literature, creative writing, and English as a Second Language. Simply put, English concerns all the ways humans use language and art to communicate with each other.
Considered vital to any post-secondary education, English is a general requirement in every four-year program. That’s where we come in. The English program at MCC offers you a variety of courses designed to meet university transfer requirements and appeal to the wide interests of our students. In addition to first-year composition, our diverse faculty offer classroom and online courses in literatures, the humanities, creative writing, academic writing, personal writing, film studies, women's studies, journalism, and more.
