Liberal Arts: Writing Option, Associate in Arts

The Liberal Arts Option in Writing gives students a solid grounding in the craft of writing for various purposes and audiences. This option emphasizes developing individual style, and exploring the creative or vocational applications of writing. It prepares students for transfer to B. A. programs in English, Writing, and Communications, as well as other liberal arts majors; it may also prepare students for entry level jobs requiring excellent writing skills. 

A minimum of 62 credits is required for graduation.

Any student enrolled in an associate degree program who is new to NECC and has no academic history at the college, must take at least one course designated as intensive in each of NECC’s six-core academic skills-in order to graduate. In most cases, the program’s core required courses include these intensive courses. Students should select electives that meet core academic skills that are not met by the required courses.  Plan to see an advisor for more complete information about this graduation requirement.
