Remedial courses in English are excellent to take especially if English is not your first language. You will be able to learn the basics of English and strengthen your foundation in the language. Perhaps at your college, they will also emphasize in conversational English as well. It is better for you to master the English language now before you attempt to take other classes. In your other classes, there may be a lot of reading and writing and you may be required to speak in front of the class to make a presentation. Also, English Composition is often a graduation requirement at most colleges and universities.

Rather than looking for the easy liberal arts courses, take courses that will fulfill your general education requirements at the 4-year university that you intend to transfer to. Most general education courses would be courses such as:

-English

-Math

-History

-Science (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physical Science, Geology or Botany to name a few)

-Social Science (Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology or Economics)

Also, one more thing to consider, some universities do not transfer GPA’s from other institutions. Your credits may transfer but your GPA from your community college may not. Only courses that you take at your 4-year university may factor into your GPA. Talk to your academic adviser at your college for more information.

Best wishes!

I’m also somewhat bothered by your approach of taking an easy subject matter so that you could have a high GPA, on the assumption that this would help you transfer. Universities do take the rigor of your program into account, so a really good GPA in something known to be easy won’t get you any farther than something acceptable in a known “tough” subject matter.
