Los Rios Community College District

Programme overview

The Los Rios English programs are offered at American River College (ARC), Cosumnes River College (CRC), Folsom Lake College (FLC) and Sacramento City College (SCC). Award pathways listed include an AA, an AAT, and certificate options, allowing students to pursue either broad associate credentials or targeted certification in English-related study.

What you'll study

Coursework centers on core English subjects typical of community-college English curricula: composition, literature, critical reading, and writing studies. Specific course titles and sequences vary by campus; students enroll at ARC, CRC, FLC or SCC to follow the catalog for that college.

Entry requirements

The program is open through the district colleges; entry follows the standard admissions and placement processes of the Los Rios campuses where the English program is offered. Consult the chosen college’s catalog and counseling services for placement and registration details.

Career prospects

Completion of an AA, AAT, or certificate in English supports transfer to four-year institutions or employment that values strong written and analytical communication. Outcomes depend on subsequent transfer choices or occupational pathways pursued after the Los Rios credential.

Scholarships & funding angle

Students should explore each college’s financial aid office, scholarship listings, and district resources for funding opportunities applicable to English majors and transfer-oriented students. Typical sources include institutional scholarships, district awards, and state or federal financial aid programs.
