Programs


Writing Enriched Curriculum Program
The Department of Writing & Rhetoric is pleased to announce the launch of two new programs as part of the university’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP): Graduate Writing Fellowships and Faculty Seed Grants. One of the goals of the university’s 2009 Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is to encourage faculty to integrate writing into the curriculum in ways that teach students not only that writing styles and discourse conventions differ by discipline, but also that writing itself is inseparable from the “ways of knowing” of a particular discipline.


Minor in Digital Media Studies
The Digital Media Studies (DMS) minor is a cross-disciplinary program intended to equip undergraduate students with digital computing, design, and communication skills that complement their primary academic focus and allow them to develop basic web-authoring and programming skills, to critically evaluate digital information, and to apply digital skills and knowledge in multiple fields. The tracks emphasize different but inter-connected paths of digital technology and problem-solving. This cross-disciplinary program addresses a growing academic and employment interest of students. Because it is an interdisciplinary minor, DMS is administered by the Department of Writing & Rhetoric.
