ADVISEMENT TRACKS FOR CREATIVE
WRITING AND INFORMATIONAL WRITING
This advisement track is designed for the student who intends to transfer to a four-year institution to earn a baccalaureate degree. The program provides a broad, balanced exposure to the liberal arts by incorporating courses in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and sciences. A global perspective requirement further broadens the exposure. Students may choose between two intensive writing tracks.
The Creative Writing Track allows a student to build a suitable background
for further study in a variety of creative writing majors such as drama,
fiction, nonfiction and poetry. The Informational Writing Track provides a
suitable
background for further study in a variety of informational writing
majors such as journalism, business and/or technical writing, advertising or
public relations.
The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree is awarded upon completion of the requirements for this program.
Courses should be selected in consultation with an advisor.

102, GOV 219, 220, 223; HIS 107, 206,
207; PHI 203, PHS 103. A Global Perspective course (for instance PHS 103) may be
used to
satisfy a requirement in the field from which the course came from
(science) as well as the global perspective requirement. Although
the global
perspective course may be used to satisfy two distribution requirements, the
credits may be used only once toward the degree; therefore, additional elective
credits (in this case, 3 cr. hrs.) must be used to meet the total credit
requirement of the program. If a student chooses to use a Global Perspective
requirement to meet a second requirement, he/she must submit a waiver specifying
the field requirement to be met (in this example: science).
e. Humanities

Track: ART 145 or ART 157 recommended.
