Four courses in communications are offered through the English and World Languages department. Refer to the college catalog for more information.

ENG  120:  Creative Writing — This course is an introduction to creative writing. It is a writing-intensive class designed to give students opportunities to express themselves in poetry, fiction, and drama, and to understand the craft of writing "from the inside" rather than analyzing it from the outside as a literature student. Students will read and respond to work by professional writers and fellow students in a "workshop" format. The basis for success in the course is not the quality of the student's imagination but the quality of participation as a writer and reader.
 

ENG 130: Technical Writing and Communication — Designed for applied science students to meet their communications requirements.  It includes workplace correspondence, resume and job search documents, and short technical reports.  It is of special interest to technical, engineering, law enforcement, nursing, and business students.  The course stresses clarity, conciseness, and objectivity in writing reports, memos, letters, and other forms of communications.

ENG 230: Advanced Technical Writing and Communication — This course is designed as an advanced course in workplace writing for applied science students to meet their communications requirements.  It includes longer workplace documents requiring skills in research, collaborative writing, graphics components, and computer usage.  It is of special interest to technical, engineering, law enforcement, nursing, and business students.

ENG 190:  Introduction to Film Study —This is a beginning course exploring how film communicates.  Sociological issues related to film, the relationship of film to literary genres, and important historical developments in the evolution of film art are explored.  Films will be shown in almost every class session.
