This learning community pairs ENGL 1711: Composition 1 with EAPP 0900: Academic Reading & Writing. In this learning community, assignments in EAPP 0900 support the work in ENGL 1711, giving students a chance to develop their language skills while earning transferable credit. The two courses in this learning community are co-requisites, which means you must register for both together.
| | | | | The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program is designed to help English learners enter and succeed in the community and technical college system as well as in the transfer curriculum. EAP Program courses focus on speaking and listening, reading and vocabulary, writing and grammar, and pronunciation. Depending on their intended major, students completing the EAP Program may begin one of the career and technical programs or enroll in general education courses.
