Writing and Rhetoric Minor

Program of Study
Degree Type
Minor

The minor in Writing and Rhetoric offers students the opportunity to extend their study of writing and rhetoric beyond the Humanities and Arts Requirement without majoring in either the Writing and Rhetoric concentration in Humanities and Arts or the interdisciplinary Professional Writing program. Students interested in declaring a minor should obtain a minor declaration form so that they are assigned an advisor early in the process. Contact the Director of Professional Writing for more information. The minor consists of two units of work, distributed in the following way:
