Re: Rhetoric
At Texas Woman's U, we are straight "Rhetoric." This means we cover
everything; we study rhetorical theory, composition theory, literary ctiticism,
British and American lit., linguistics . . . .
All of this is covered on our written and oral comps. Of course, this means
that most candidates study for comps for a year or so, and they don't always
pass on the first try.
The theory behind the title of our program is that we are not restricted to
rhetoric and composition, but that we are generalists to the extreme, which
should mean that we can teach writing, literature, and speech.
