Welcome From the Program Director

Welcome to the website for the University of Texas at El Paso’s doctoral program in Rhetoric and Composition.  I am glad you are here, and I hope you will find our site informative and helpful. I recommend starting on the “Program Description” page for an overview of our program's strengths and scholarly interests, along with information about our unique situatedness on the U.S.-Mexico border.
