Rhetoric has branches in modern technology and roots in ancient Greece โ€” it is both the oldest and newest interdisciplinary academic field.

Students pursuing the departmentโ€™s minor in writing and rhetoric learn to persuade through the spoken and written word. They discover how texts generate knowledge, mediate power, and enact change.

Consequently, they are well-prepared for postgraduate training and careers in publishing, journalism, and other communications media.
