English Division
We offer a broad study of the fields of written and spoken language.
The English division of ARC includes courses in composition and technical/professional writing (ENGWR), literature (ENGLT), reading (ENGRD), creative writing (ENGCW), education (ENGED), and journalism (JOUR), the descriptors in parentheses being the prefixes used in listing these courses in our catalog and schedule.
For information about a specific class, please visit that discipline page, see our current American River College catalog, or contact counseling at 916-484-8572. Courses in English are typically both UC and CSU transferable, and also lead to exciting careers.
