Division of Humanities The English Department is concerned with helping the students to achieve a degree of proficiency in the process of thinking and in expressing the end product of thought in an effective and acceptable manner of either oral or written communication. Through courses in literature, the Department supplies facts essential to the intelligent reading of selections in litera- ture, points out the characteristics which render each author sipificant in the development of literature and acquaints the student to work for himself by supplying fundamental facts related to the moral, social, political, and intellec- tual development. .Xfter the students successfully com- plete English l3l, they enroll in English l32. called Composition and lihetoric. This course continues the study of the principles and techniques of writing and reading prose. The Department offers a special course, English 133, for the international students who need to establish a profi- ciency level in the English language. Besides the special course for the inter- national students, the Department offers Developmental Reading. This course is to develop speed and comprehension in reading. The students, during their second year of study, may take the Survey of English Literature courses, Technical Writing, andfor Introduction to Litera- ture courses. The studcnt's choice depends upon his major and his choice of senior college or university. Besides the English and literature courses, the journalism major may take the jouranslim courses and the publica- tion courses. Another important required course for many majors is Philosophy 23l. This is an introductory course to thc major area of philosophy. Philosophy 231, is an ethics course. The Department offers two courses in Second-year Spanish. Students must realize the benefits in learning the Spanish language, especially if they're interested in law, medicine, police, com- munication, teachcrs, and many other fields.
