English & Creative Writing
The HCC English Department offers associate degree options in literature and creative writing.
If you love to read, you may want to pursue the English option, particularly if you intend to pursue a B.A. in English at a four-year institution. In this option, you'll study great works of literature - from a range of diverse sources - and hone your analytical and critical skills. Click on the links provided on this page for more information and a list of required courses. If you love to write, you should consider the Creative Writing option, where you'll be immersed in he study of writing fiction, poetry, drama, screen plays, and creative nonfiction. Click on the link for Creative Writing to learn more about the program, as well as opportunities to be involved with the Creative Writing Club and our literary magazine, Pulp City. Can't decide? If you don't want to commit to taking the required courses in either option, you can always do the more conventional A.A. in Liberal Arts and then take only the literature and creative writing courses you're most interested in.
