Graduate Handbook

Our degree programs represent three important perspectives on the study of language and texts. Rhetoric investigates the principles and practices underlying effective communication, from the codex book to the modern website. Literary and Cultural Studies examines the history, value, and meaning of texts (including film and other media) in their cultural and historical settings. Creative Writing emphasizes the artistry in the construction of poetry, fiction, the essay, creative nonfiction, and the screenplay.
