Writing and Rhetoric Minor ~ Learning Environment

The curriculum provides you with diverse learning experiences. The multicultural setting of California informs the study of rhetoric and writing as a means to bridge differences, negotiate conflicts, and shape decision-making processes. Online work, presentations, group work, and individually developed projects allow you to formulate an understanding of rhetorical theory in relation to historical, contemporary, global, and local contexts. Instruction in ethical and effective writing and oral communication occurs in conjunction with the exploration of topics that hold personal, regional, and global significance. The diversity of our students and the local communities enrich and influence the curriculum.
