Program Description
The English Studies program prepares students to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate degree in English. English Studies majors study literature, language, and other texts through in-depth critical analysis and creative production. Students become complex thinkers and versatile users of language. Courses teach intellectual inquiry, engage students in diverse reading and writing tasks, and address how power may be won or lost through the medium of words.

Career Opportunities
A degree in English Studies prepares graduating students for many careers and professions, as well as advanced academic study. English majors pursue careers in writing, law, teaching, editing, artificial intelligence, marketing, SEO marketing, advertising, library, public relations, political science, policy development, and more. They excel in the skills employers are seeking: critical thinking, oral and written communication, and teamwork.

Transfer/Articulation Information
Admission into a major program at a transfer institution depends upon the receiving institution’s requirements for that major. Some major programs are restricted and require special application as well as a competitive GPA. Salt Lake Community College has an articulation agreement with the University of Utah’s English department. Students who are accepted into the University of Utah may transfer up to four ENGL courses from their AS English Studies degree to apply towards major requirements at the University of Utah. Students admitted to the English BA/BS program with the AS English Studies degree will be awarded “junior-status” in their program. See an Academic Advisor at both SLCC and the intended receiving institution for specific articulation information.
