Bachelor of Arts in English - Writing, Rhetoric and Literacy

Colorado State University

In the Writing, Rhetoric, and Literacy concentration you will develop your writing and leadership abilities by learning skills to create meaning and incite action. You’ll enhance your understanding of the connections between writing, rhetoric, literacy, identity, and power and practice writing for public audiences, digital writing, community literacy, non-profit advocacy, and professional/technical writing. In small, student-centered classes, you will engage writing and rhetoric with a focus on genre, audience, invention, and style, and explore rhetorical approaches in social, cultural, and historical contexts. Whether you’re planning a career in professional writing, copy editing, web design and digital writing, law, teaching, grant writing, or any other writing-intensive career, our emphasis on the theory and practice of writing will prepare you to produce effective writing that meets audience needs.
