Graduate Minor in Rhetoric and Scientific & Technical Communication

The Graduate Minor in RSTC serves students pursuing another graduate degree 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 masters 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. Please contact Allie Cooperman at writgpc@umn.edu for more information.
