Along with foundational writing courses tailored to specific disciplines (refer to Course Listings for details), the Department provides a 3-Year Bachelor of Arts program specializing in Rhetoric and Communications. This curriculum focuses on crafting, assessing, interpreting, and meticulously refining messages across diverse platforms, audiences, and objectives. Majors engage with multiple writing styles, study modern non-fiction works, dissect visual and verbal arguments, explore the influence of print and digital media on Western society, and investigate how ideological perspectives shape communication through theoretical frameworks and textual analysis. Graduates with this degree can pursue advanced studies in areas like Communications, Composition, Media Studies, or Rhetoric, while also being equipped for professional roles in both public and private sectors that require sophisticated writing, analytical, and communication abilities.
