Venue description

The Department of Communication Studies pursues communication scholarship in both the humanities and social sciences traditions. Students usually plan course work within one of three areas of concentration, but they are strongly encouraged to develop a program with interdisciplinary breadth as well as theoretical and methodological depth. A concentration in Rhetoric emphasizes the history of rhetorical theory from classical times to the present; contemporary theories of rhetoric and communication; critical analysis of significant rhetorical texts, movements, and controversies; and the arts of argumentation and advocacy. The curriculum blends understanding of the rhetorical tradition with innovative approaches to rhetorical theory and practice. The relationship between rhetoric an civic culture is of special interest in this area of study.
