What is English Emphasis, General Transfer?
What will I learn?
Many Americans will change jobs and career paths through the course of their working lives, so it’s important to obtain a broad, flexible, and generalized education through the general transfer degree. More specifically, students in the English emphasis should demonstrate expanded critical thinking and communication skills, which are necessary skills for multiple career paths. Within the English classes the emphasis is expanding students’ abilities in critical thinking, analysis, and writing.
In addition, all students who complete a degree designated as a Tennessee Transfer Pathway will be able to do the following:
- Communicate effectively through oral and written modes, using conventions appropriate to their audience and purpose, including critical listening, reading, and research skills.
- Evaluate the significance of humanity’s cultural heritage and diversity and its development in a historical and/or global context through critical and analytical methodologies.
- Connect knowledge of social and cultural institutions to issues of personal or public importance.
- Analyze historical and contemporary issues by drawing on historical contexts.
- Demonstrate a broad understanding of scientific principles and concepts.
- Apply relevant mathematical modeling to a variety of applied or theoretical problems.
What are my options to pay for this degree?
- Apply for financial aid at www.FAFSA.gov
- A student is encouraged to apply early for financial aid. He/she must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the FAFSA Renewal Application as soon as possible after October 1 to ensure that the Financial Aid Office receives the Institutional Student Information Record and other documents prior to the priority deadline. July 1st is the priority deadline for applying for the fall semester and December 1st for the spring semester.
