What You Learn as an English Transfer Major
Explore American literature while building critical thinking and writing skills. It’s a great start to your bachelor’s degree.

We prepare you to succeed.
What Can I Do With an English Degree?
An English degree is a path to many career fields. Yes, you can write a book, be an editor, work in media or public relations. But the critical thinking and communication skills you have are valuable in every field. Many managers and chief executives have an English degree. And it is a great one to build on in graduate school. With extra schooling, you can be a teacher, librarian, and so much more.

What are Transfer Majors
The English Transfer Major is part of EICC's statewide Transfer Major associate's degree program. It was developed through a partnership between Iowa's community colleges, public universities, and many private colleges. It outlines the precise courses you need to complete if you want to transfer to a four-year college and study a specific major. The partner colleges and universities have approved the EICC courses, so all the credits you earn with us fully transfer toward your bachelor's degree. It's streamlined and simple.
If EICC is your first stop to a four-year degree, this is a great option!
