The English program at Ventura College provides students with the opportunity to develop their reading, writing, research and critical thinking abilities.

Advanced courses are also available in the fields of literature, creative writing, and film.

English majors at Ventura College develop written and spoken mastery of the English language, creativity of thought, and an appreciation of the language’s literature.  Our program offers the new Associate Degree for Transfer in English that guarantees students admission to one of the California State University campuses and prepares students to transfer into any bachelor's degree program.
