MA in Rhetoric and Writing Studies

In this program, students examine the theoretical and practical elements of workplace writing.  Courses in rhetorical theory, research methods, and persuasion give students the tools to analyze rhetorical contexts and conduct research.  Other courses focus on specific rhetorical practices, including grant writing, computer-mediated writing, and technical writing.  Because of UTEP's position on the U.S./Mexico border, intercultural rhetoric is addressed in both the theoretical and practical courses.  This degree offers students the opportunity to enhance the writing they do on the job, prepare for careers as professional/technical writers, or enter a PhD program in Rhetoric.
