Overview

University of Oklahoma’s graduate program in English - Rhetoric and Writing Studies prepares students to become scholar-practitioners who analyze rhetoric, writing, media, and making across a range of cultural and historical contexts.

Key Facts

The program professors represent the diversity of the field, researching rhetorical history and theory, women’s rhetorics, indigenous and de-colonial studies, composition theory, technical writing and scientific communication, multimodal production, religious rhetoric, digital humanities, cross-curricular literacy, and writing program administration.

Students will design their areas of study in close consultation with the chair of their committee. These areas of study may be selected from well-established fields of national literature and/or historical periods (e.g., British, American, Native American, post-colonial Anglophone, medieval, early modern, Eighteenth, Nineteenth or Twentieth century), Rhetoric and Writing studies, theoretical approaches (feminism/gender studies, critical race/ethnicity studies, Marxism, poststructuralism), media studies (film, graphic novel), or more recent areas of scholarly interest (transnational literature, new kinds of interdisciplinary studies, digital humanities). The committee must consist of a committee chair and two other members of the graduate faculty.

Faculty are committed to preparing graduate students through preparation in coursework, mentoring, and professional development. Students have published their work in prominent journals and presented at national and local conferences. Teaching assistantships are competitive with those of peer institutions, and financial assistance for dissertation completion and conference travel is available through the department and Graduate College. The department has been successful in helping students find employment in academia and beyond.
