Laney College's Associate in Arts in English for Transfer program is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer with junior status and priority admission to a California State University campus to a program or major in English or similar major for completion of a baccalaureate degree.

Upon completion of this program a student will be able to: • Apply techniques of close textual reading, analysis, and interpretation of a variety of literary genres in their social, cultural, historical, and political contexts. • Develop individual perspectives in essays that demonstrate critical thinking, logical organization, and command of voice and style. • Conduct inquiry into historical and contemporary discourse to respond to and influence contemporary discourse, one’s self, and the world.

English majors go into a variety of fields including law, education, publishing, business, government, media relations, entertainment, counseling, journalism, technical writing, nonprofit development and fundraising, museums, and many more.
