Our Program:
Reading courses help students to expand their vocabularies and meet the challenges of college study.
Writing courses guide students to be more thoughtful, curious, and confident writers and researchers.
Literature survey courses in American, English, world, Asian, Afro-American, and ethnic literature reveal major themes and motifs in cultures both ancient and modern, so that students can appreciate the diversity and rich inter-relatedness of the human family.
Creative writing courses allow students to discover their voices and explore their imaginations through writing their own poetry and literature.
