Masters in Rhetoric and Writing

The MA in Rhetoric and Writing stresses non-fiction prose in its many forms: technical writing, broadcasting, editing, publishing, proposal writing, nature writing, documentary production, autobiography, biography, visual design, documentation, and medical and science writing. Students supplement their own writing with courses in literature and language, enhancing their analytical and interpretive abilities. Our creative writing workshops, publishing courses, and editorial experience ground students in the modern realities of writing. Applicants should possess a Bachelor's degree in English or a related discipline.

As of Fall semester 2006, the MA program in Professional Writing has been replaced by the MA in Rhetoric and Writing.  If you are interested in a Professional Writing degree, please see the relevant information under the MA in Rhetoric and Writing here.
