Graduate Minor in Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication

A Graduate Minor in Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication (WRTC) is a fantastic addition to any masters or doctoral program at the University of Minnesota! The minor prepares students to:

• integrate writing pedagogy into discipline-specific teaching practices;
• develop skills in rhetorical analysis; and
• apply scientific and technical communication principles to the communication of scholarly work.

Students take 6 credits (for a master's minor) or 12 credits (for a doctoral minor), selecting among courses in our core areas of rhetoric, writing studies and pedagogy, and technical communication. You can declare the minor on One Stop.
