English Literature

A degree in English literature opens the door to unlimited career opportunities in which strong writing, communication, and analytical skills are valued. Our program provides the first two years of a four-year curriculum with a focus on social, cultural, and historical contexts, as well as genres, movements, national traditions, and themes.

Students at any Maricopa Community College may need to complete courses at more than one of our colleges.

Why Phoenix College?

Phoenix College’s English curriculum covers everything from written communication to language acquisition, literature, and the humanities. PC offers first-year composition courses where students may focus on the writing process at a college level and master the art of persuasive and research-based writing.

While our English courses do not lead to any particular degree at Phoenix College, these classes often fulfill the general education requirements needed for a certificate or associate's degree. PC also offers courses for developmental English, English as a second language, and creative writing.
