The Rhetoric, Writing, and Culture specialization combines the historical, theoretical, and philosophical aspects of writing and rhetoric with educational and compositional practices. This program equips graduates for careers in community college or high school teaching, doctoral studies in rhetoric and composition, writing program administration, or diverse roles focused on writing and publishing—such as editing, technical writing, and positions in both private and public sectors.
