Literacy and Rhetorical Studies Minor

The goal of the literacy and rhetorical studies (LRS) minor is to encourage students to contribute to interdisciplinary activity and to create a forum for them and several dozen faculty members at the University whose research and teaching emphasize various facets of writing and communication. By crafting an individualized program of study with the LRS director of graduate studies, including theory, pedagogy, and research, often in a historical context, students can complement their disciplinary degree and thereby open up new perspectives for their scholarship and teaching.
