English Major Checklist Rhetoric and Professional Writing Track

The Rhetoric and Professional Writing Track (RPW) prepares students to write persuasively and effectively in public and professional contexts. Students in this track may design a program of study that leads to employment in commercial and non-profit organizations, to graduate work in rhetoric and professional writing, and/or to enhanced literacy and more informed, responsible participation in civic affairs.

Requirements

A minimum of 36 credit hours is required, with at least 15 hours in the chosen track. Only courses listed on this checklist count toward the major. If you wish to substitute other courses, you must submit a Petition to Substitute a Course before taking the course. English Composition (ENGL 1001) is the prerequisite required before any coursework is completed. Although not required, it is highly recommended to complete the composition sequence (ENGL 2089: Intermediate Composition or equivalent) prior to beginning coursework. No credit toward the English Major is earned for 1000 or 2000 level composition courses.
