Both ENGL 1010 and ENGL 1020 are core aspects of earning an Associate of Arts (A.A.) Degree in English at NSCC. If you enjoy your experience in either ENGL 1010 or ENGL 1020 (or both!), we encourage you to pursue an A.A. in English at NSCC. An A.A. Degree in English will help prepare you for a variety of potential career paths, including journalism, law, technical writing, public relations, government, and education. Unlike most degree pathways, which may only prepare you for a specific occupational field (for example, nursing, math, or engineering), the English A.A. Degree will set you up for success in securing employment in a variety of careers. Image 1 (found below) maps the skills learned by English majors as well as the career pathways that many English majors take post-graduation. Most importantly, the A.A. Degree in English will teach you how to communicate effectively and how to project a professional voice in your written work regardless of the pathway you choose.
