In classical Greece, Rhetoric was the art of
discovery and persuasion that shaped democracy and educated philosopher-kings.
In its dramatic 20th century resurgence, contemporary Rhetoric has
expanded the scope of English studies with its interdisciplinary
approach to discourse and the arts of inquiry, interpretation, and
communication. It remains an unparalleled foundation for an academic
or professional career.
The small number of students admitted to the MA in Rhetoric creates
a collaborative and interdisciplinary atmosphere at CMU. Students
are able to take courses across programs in the English Department
and in other departments, and to work closely with advisors to design
a plan of study to suit their interests in theory, research, and
teaching.
The MA in Rhetoric is an ideal background for specialized doctoral
study in many areas. However, anyone wishing to do doctoral
work in Carnegie Mellon's Ph.D. programs should apply directly to
those programs. Although MA work at CMU may be helpful, admission
to the doctoral programs requires a separate application.
