Writing and Rhetoric Minor

The minor in Writing and Rhetoric offers students the opportunity to extend their study of writing and rhetoric beyond the Sufficiency requirement without majoring in either the Writing and Rhetoric concentration in Humanities and Arts or the Technical, Scientific, and Professional Communication program. The minor consists of two units of work, distributed in the following way:

  1. 2/3 unit. Core courses in writing and rhetoric: RH 3111, RH3112
  2. 1 unit. Electives in writing and rhetoric, chosen from the following: ER/WR 2211, EN/WR 3214, EN/WR 3216, EN/WR 3217, EN/WR 3011, and RH 3211. If there is good reason and with the approval of the Program Review Committee, electives may also include courses in art history, literature (in English or other languages), and philosophy and religion.
  3. 1/3 unit. Capstone IS/P.

No more than 1 unit of coursework may be double-counted toward the Humanities and Arts Requirement.
