The Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures offers programs that share core understandings about writing, namely that it is embedded in cultures, involves purposeful rhetorical action, and in the 21st century occurs in digital environments and is multimodal.
The First-Year Writing Program provides courses that facilitate students’ successful transition to writing in higher education and beyond. Its 100-level courses fulfill the university’s Tier I Writing requirement.
The professional writing major leads to a Bachelor of Arts that prepares students for careers as professional editors and publishers, technical writers, information developers, and web authors as well as for graduate study.
The graduate program offers a doctorate in rhetoric and writing and a Master of Arts in digital rhetoric and professional writing and in critical studies in literacy and pedagogy.
