Overview

The Writing and Rhetoric Studies program at University of Utah engages students in developing the intellectual background and research skills necessary to enter the field of writing and rhetoric studies as professionals engaged in a variety of pedagogical and scholarly work.

Education

It emphasizes rhetoric's connections with writing as a traditional and contemporary technology, as an instructional concern inside and outside formal educational environments, and as a practice integrated into organizations, publics, workplaces, and other human communities.

It emphasizes both broad disciplinary training and the refinement of a specific scholarly area through rigorous research. Student cohorts join us from every geographical region, as well as from abroad.
