English
From Moby Dick to mobile blogging, writing takes many forms. Our English courses reflect this spectrum by giving everyone the ability to be a creative, ethical, and engaged citizen and to contribute to the intellectual, cultural, economic, and social advancement of our local and global communities. English courses are a core requirement of every college experience at UCO. Our goal is to have these central courses help you grow as a person, think freely and critically, and prepare you for whatever is next on The Road.
