The Department of Rhetoric and Composition sees the study of rhetoric and written literacy as essential to academic, professional, civic and personal life. We acknowledge rhetoric's dynamic relationship to culture and thought, and we visualize writing and speaking as primary vehicles for professional and public discourse. In keeping with this vision, we seek to create a dynamic learning environment in which students develop writing and communication skills necessary for professional and academic settings.
