In addition to the core classes that are directly related to your field of study, you may be surprised to find you might need to take a class or two in English composition. Successfully completing additional English composition classes may mean the difference between merely getting by, and handing in coursework for your Master's thesis that is far above average.
Even if you are completing a technical Masters degree like engineering, you will be required to put together a thesis that sums up the basis of your studies and research for the entirety of your online degree program. Whether you are attending an online college or a traditional university, the professors of the college you are attending will expect nothing less than high caliber work.

Completing English composition classes will help you as you move towards your online Masters degree program. Generally, these higher level classes will focus on the facets of written communication that elevate elements within, such as language and clarity. They will also help students by focusing on principles that are fundamental, and then developing in more theoretical complexity as the various classes' progress.
Schools online that offer English composition classes will offer the same types of classes as other schools. For example, vocabulary, grammar, syntax and semantics are all basic foundations that will be addressed in an English composition class at an online college. Upper level classes might focus on rhetoric, composition, theory, or practice. All of these elements will help students in online degree programs better develop the ability to express ideas in various written forms that are appropriate for that particular element.
In an online Masters degree program, English composition will help in various ways. Many schools online will have their students complete some kind of independent study program. At the end of the independent study period (usually a semester), the student will be required to turn in a log of activities, as well as some type of written project that encapsulates what was learned. A written paper will more than likely be a large part of the project. Being able to clearly communicate ideas in a written form, utilizing all of the proper elements of English composition, is essential.
Although English composition classes will often focus mainly on the fundamentals of writing, there will also be a degree of critical reading as well. The purpose of reading various essays, poetry, short stories or novels is to familiarize the student with the many forms of written communication that are available, and appropriate, for different expression of ideas. By reading a wide variety of material, students in schools online can increase their vocabulary and their understanding of the world around them.
Another benefit of English composition to students enrolled in schools online may be clarity of thought and expression during online communication sessions. Since online schools use electronic boards to share ideas, peers and instructors may be pleasantly surprised by students who can express their ideas in a form that is not only grammatically correct, but pleasing to read. Discussion boards and chat rooms that have good communicators will help create a more satisfying learning environment for all.
Regardless of the type of online Masters degree you seek, English composition can help you be at the top of your class. Traditional universities, as well as online colleges, are both interested in having students who are able to communicate clearly. Successfully completing English composition classes online will help you be the type of student that all colleges are seeking.

English Composition is one of those core classes that's going to be a component of any college education. Many students dread the thought of a composition class, and feel like they're set up to fail. However, being prepared for this class will instead set you up for success and an almost guaranteed passing grade!
Part of the reason why many students feel intimidated by English Comp is because the ideas seem so fluid. They wonder what sort of assignments they'll be receiving throughout the semester. They worry that composing their thoughts and opinions on paper, or that drawing conclusions from reading literature, is too vague of an assignment to really be undertaken.

Yes, English and Composition are very vast subjects, and a professor can make almost any type of curriculum out of the topics. However, students can rest assured that they will spend much of their time in English Comp reading and writing. No matter what form these two activities take, students can feel confident that they will be a part of the learning experience.
With the fast paced world of technology around us, it seems like the role of the extended piece of writing is quickly disappearing. Students are often more comfortable with short pieces to read, feeling overwhelmed by literature and novels. That's something you can work towards: being a strong and confidant reader no matter what the length of the piece you're dealing with.
One of the best ways to become more comfortable with reading is, unsurprisingly, taking the time to read. Work your way away from magazines and newspapers, and take the time to pick up a book at your local library. Studies have shown that human beings acquire spelling and reading comprehension skills by the act of reading regularly. If you set a goal for yourself - say, read one book a month - you will find that your ability to finish that book and analyze its contents will improve incredibly, maybe even after finishing just one book.
The other integral skill for an English Composition class is the ability to write. You're going to spend lots of time in English Composition forming your thoughts and opinions into legible pieces of writing that accurately convey the way you feel and think to your classmates and professor.
Just like with reading, one of the best ways to practice composition is by writing regularly. Purchase a notebook especially for yourself and make a promise to write every night, even if it's only a page.

These days, having a single degree focusing on one minor is often not enough. Recruiters are looking for people who display versatility, usually with a skill that is complementary to their major. They are also looking for candidates who have skills that will help them adjust to the working world. One of those minors that certainly fit the bill is English Composition or Writing.
There are a number of reasons for this. Probably the most important of them is the working world is built on communication. It can be shown that those who can express themselves clearly and concisely through strong written and oral communications skills win more debates than those who express themselves poorly, even if the loser really has the better concept.

A minor in English Composition and writing includes basic courses on how to research. One needs to be able to find previously expressed concepts, cite them and then apply them to their own report or speech. It will also allow one to express these concepts in a manner where the writer ends up having a base for their original thoughts. Many times, it can even make the original data even stronger.
Further, quite frankly, the non-academic world is rife with reports, speeches and presentations; sometimes just as much as the academic world. Most schools, whether on campus or online, usually have a relatively simple process for declaring a minor. It involves going to the correct department, usually English, and filling out a declaration of filling out the base course and electives for said minor. From there, it's a matter of actually taking those courses. In certain ways, a student will have to take two English/Writing courses as part of their basic curriculum no matter how they look at it. Those two courses are generally Creative Writing and Report Writing. True, there are students who become exempt from these classes through CLEP exams, but that isn't as common as some might think. Inevitably, two of those courses will undoubtedly be a course on the history of literature and the English language. The other will be a course that will pick up on, enhance and refine one's writing techniques. From there, one or two more electives should close the deal regarding achieving one's minor's requirements.

Students coming in fresh out of high school may not be accustomed to the level of writing that will be required of them in college. Composition serves as that primer for what one should expect to face when they get into upper-division courses. Colleges want to ensure that their students are technically prepared to produce quality academic writing in all of their courses.
Academic writing has different purposes and requirements from your average prose. English comp is a writing and research intensive course that develops strong critical thinking skills and quality writing abilities. Everything taught in this course is for these two primary goals.
Much of the academic writing done in college consists of research-based arguments. A composition course will teach students how to conduct research. Teachers will point students in the direction of available resources and instruct them in how to evaluate the credibility of the sources they do come upon.
When doing research, it is important for students to determine what resources offer the best support for their argument and if those writings are grounded in proven expertise, not just a case of "he said/she said". Coupled with doing research, students will learn how to properly cite their resources and most often teachers will use the MLA (Modern Language Association) standard of citation unless they are in a journalistic or scientific curriculum that uses different standards.
When you reach higher level courses, students will be expected to know how to write an academic paper. By this stage, professors shouldn't have to tell you how to develop a thesis or how to arrange an argument. All of these techniques will be addressed in English composition one and two.
Above all other assets, this course will teach students how to think critically by analyzing the various circumstances within the writing process. Systematically addressing questions such as these will build critical thinkers. Not only is critical thinking essential in an academic setting, but in the workplace as well.

Composition takes student through the writing process from invention to editing. It also opens a door to experience the different forms of writing (exposition, argumentation, narration, etc). Furthermore, composition shows students how to research and document resources. At the core, English Composition aims to build strong written communication skills.
Most, if not all, colleges require students to fulfill two levels of composition courses, regardless of major. As a student, writing is unavoidable, so one should take advantage of the skills taught in introductory composition courses. On top of that, reports from the Department of Labor regarding essential workplace skills showed that written and oral communication skills take priority when obtaining employment.
Many employers believe students need stronger writing skills and more training on professional uses of e-mail. Furthermore, it has been suggested that strong oral and written faculties lead to successful careers and because technology is ever changing and advancing these skills will become even more prevalent in the workplace.
Even if you don't write much in your given career field, there are still valuable skills gained from writing composition courses, and first among them is being aware of your audience. Whether you're a salesperson or an art exhibiter, all careers require a keen sense of who you're communicating to and what you're communicating about. Moreover, in the business environment, technology necessitates the need for clear writing abilities in order to effectively communicate and this can be achieved through a crisp writing style, as well as diligent editing.
Where to enroll in writing composition courses is another consideration future students will have to undertake. You should also consider the transferability of credits if you ever decide to switch institutions.

The American Council of Trustees and Alumni believes so strongly in the value of subjects such as English Comp that its members graded institutions on their core requirements. ENC 1101 courses provide students the ability to write clearly and accurately, enabling them to better participate in the workforce and society, according to the council's "What Will They Learn?" website. For What Will They Learn, the Council gathered information on more than 700 institutions throughout the United States and found that 77 percent of them made ENC 1101 courses a requirement. Lamar University made the council's "A" list. This Beaumont, Texas, institution is one of sixteen four-year colleges and universities requiring that students take six to seven of what the American Council of Trustees and Alumni considers core courses: math, science and English Composition, as well as literature, economics, foreign language and US government/history.
Students who take the ACTs are graded on a scale of 1 to 36 in the subject areas of English Composition, algebra, social studies and biology. ACT results varied among states and demographic groups, with 71 percent of West Virginian students and 59 percent of New Mexican students prepared for college level English Comp, reports from KRQE News 13 and the Huntington Herald Dispatch showed.
In Abilene, Texas, students scored above the statewide college readiness level in this English course and social studies and below it in biology and algebra, according to an article in the Reporter-News. ACT results also suggested that a little more than one-third of Iowa's African-Americans are prepared for ENC 1101, the Des Moines Register noted. In Minnesota, a representative of one institution told of a new testing and English placement policy where students have to meet certain requirements in order to take required English Composition courses.
With the number of international students attending American colleges and universities on the rise, English Composition courses might take on added significance. International students who are non-native English speaking students particularly often participate in English as a Second Language programs. To help Tulane University's international students succeed in their educational pursuits, English professor Kathleen Carlin offers an advanced English Comp class, the student newspaper, Tulane Hullabaloo, noted.
The University of Southern California requires that all students take at least two English Composition courses. Depending upon scores for placement tests taken at the institution, the university might also require that they take Introduction to College Writing or its non-native English speaker version, Introduction to College Writing in a Second Language. As part of the University of California's American Language Institute, students can also gain the skills they need to write dissertations.

A college or university education is becoming more necessary - and more expensive. That's why many students offset the costs of tuition with scholarships and grants. Some students might also consider free college courses as a way to save money and, in some instances, time.
These aren't the free courses that don't come with academic credit. In many instances, they aren't even referred to directly as free. Taxpayers, through the academic credits students earn in advance, could save another $30 million, according to the St. Petersburg Times article.

The non-profit College Board offers high schools a total of 33 AP classes, that they can make available to students, the non-profit College Board website shows. They include courses in foreign language, math and science, history and social science. Not all schools offer AP classes, and not all of the schools that do offer AP classes provide all 33 that are available.
When students take AP classes, they can apply the academic credit to colleges and universities throughout the United States and many internationally, so long as they pass exams with scores that qualify them for entry, the College Board website notes. Different schools have different policies, however, and the College Board recommends that students obtain copies of those policies in writing. Often, high school graduates benefiting from these college courses are able to save an entire year of studies after high school, beginning their college or university education in their sophomore year rather than as freshmen.
High schools that are known as "early college high schools" go beyond offering free college courses in the form of AP classes. They provide students the ability to earn an associate's degree or two years of academic credit while working toward their high school diplomas. More than 200 high schools throughout the country participate in the program, which is intended for students who tend to be underrepresented in colleges and universities.
Individual institutions make nearly free college courses available to high school students. A California university, for example, offers a "young scholars" program whereby qualifying students can participate in two distance learning courses for $3.50. The academic credits that students earn for these particular courses are applied to transcripts from that university, and students can then transfer them to other institutions that accept them, according to the university's website.

With math, economics, foreign language, US government/history, science, and literature, the council considers English Composition a core course that enriches their education. Many colleges and universities require that students take at least one college English writing course as part of traditional and online degree programs.
Colleges and universities also base admissions on exams such as SATs, which include reading, and ACTs (American College Tests) that involve writing. International students who aren't native English speakers often are required also to take exams such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEF), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and, at the graduate level, Graduate Record Exams (GREs). After they're accepted to American colleges and universities, non-native English speaking students often participate in English as a Second Language programs.

English writing is also taught differently in different countries, author, Xiaoye You, notes in Writing in the Devil's Tongue: A History of English Composition in China. In China, writing courses might be referred to as "rhetoric," while those in the United States are often English Composition. The "devil's tongue" in the title of You's book refers to the way that the Chinese people mocked the language in the 19th century. That's when foreign languages and western subjects were introduced in Chinese schools, after China lost wars beginning with the First Opium War with Great Britain and Ireland that was, in a sense, over what was then a legitimate drug trade.
You doesn't necessarily suggest that one method of teaching writing is better than another method might be. He does contend, however, that there's a sense of complacency in the United States when it comes to its English Composition instruction. These Composition courses are global and yet the scope of these courses have not been expanded to accommodate students on an international level, You suggests.
Writing courses in the English language in both China and the United States teach students about areas of writing such as logical arrangements, paragraph development, topical sentences and correct grammar, according to You. English Composition teaches students to write as a means of communication, and written communication skills tend to be valued by employers when they're evaluating job candidates. Composition students research topics, draft and edit copy and, in doing so, might make discoveries and produce writings that inspire contemplation and conversation.
English Composition is often a required course for students in American colleges and universities. English Composition students these days often learn about these aspects of writing as well as about writing persuasive essays, descriptive essays, poetry, narratives and more.
Providing information from sources is often taught as part of Composition courses in English. By analyzing, criticizing and obtaining ideas from what's written, students in English Composition might find themselves better able to separate belief from knowledge and fact from opinion to arrive at some type of conclusion.

English degrees, especially in their undergrad form, are intended to be broad study objectives. These degrees are designed to provide students the opportunity not to excel in a singular profession, as many degrees are built, but rather to allow students to be well-versed enough in worldly studies that they are capable of many different kinds of professions.
English majors often use their degrees to launch a graduate school quest. These students go on to use their degrees in many different ways, from law school to medical school. While English may not be directly applicable to many of these facets at first glance, there is a great deal of communicative work held in the pursuit of such an award. Communication proves pivotal at both the student and professional level.
English degree holders find themselves in many different professions after graduation related to the field. The most notable are journalism, reporting, writing, editing, publishing and teaching. These careers require excellent communication skills in spoken and written language, often incorporating critical thinking, which is exactly the kind of concentrations found in the coursework that English majors complete.
Degrees in English can also lead to jobs in less obvious industries including advertising, marketing, and business roles. Here, English degree graduates use learned communication skills from college to launch campaigns and to achieve objectives. And for many English majors, the breadth extends to jobs in the spotlight like acting, and behind the scenes gigs like directing.
Through reading, analyzing, and interpreting different forms of literature, English students gain a broad range of critical thinking skills that can be applied to nearly any career.
English degrees also focus heavily on writing, utilizing creative skills for application. Quality writing is used in journalism and professional writing and editing jobs, but also applies to a broad spectrum of business-related professions including public relations, marketing, and development.
While sometimes dubbed a "useless" degree in terms of its application, the English Bachelor's degree is in actuality relevant to an expansive range of professional implementations. Perhaps one reason for such bad publicity is that the broad reaching degree is attractive to students that are undecided about their majors. Because the degree has little vocational focus, without a proactive career approach, students graduate with little guidance on how to use their new degrees. An English degree is quite useful for many career purposes but it is not a path that specifically prepares students for any particular one.
