The English Department at Aims is the place to learn to express yourself in writing, a skill in high demand in the work place as well as a skill any citizen should possess.

Several courses meet the General Education content and competencies establish by the state and are transferable between two- and four-year Colorado colleges. These courses freshen your writing skills and guide you toward becoming an articulate citizen and sound critical thinker.

The English department offers courses that include skill-building classes (ENG 030, 060, and 090), which prepare students for the more demanding essay and research-based paper “core” classes (ENG 121 and 122). ENG 121 and ENG 122 are State Guaranteed Transfer Courses.

Keep an eye out for other English department offerings, such as Creative Writing and Creative Non-Fiction. You'll find the English faculty at Aims to be professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about writing. They often share their own writing situations and struggles to let students know they're not alone when facing a writing project.

When you take a writing class at Aims, you'll find faculty quite accessible and glad to meet with students individually to improve their writing skills and to make writing an enjoyable experience.
