English

The English Department is part of the Instructional Program of DC3, offering both writing and literature courses. Composition courses are the backbone of the English Department curriculum. Every degree offered by the college requires a writing component, and most life and work situations require the ability to write effectively. The department also offers a full complement of literature courses considered standard English department curriculum for transfer students. Literature courses fulfill humanities requirements for degrees and develop literacy and critical thinking skills critical to students for higher level college work and for life situations.

The English Department carefully aligns its placement criteria and core curriculum with other Kansas institutions for seamless transfer. The department maintains optimum class sizes, allowing students greater interaction with their professors, effective activities with their peers, and maximum practice in writing.
