Rhetoric & Writing PhD Program at BGSU

 Welcome!

Since its founding in 1980, this program has been committed to preparing students for faculty careers in rhetoric and composition. Students and faculty in the Rhetoric and Writing Ph.D. 
Program utilize the range of approaches--rhetorical, cultural, empirical, and technological--that characterize the field of rhetoric and composition in the twenty-first century. While some courses emphasize assessment, grammar, research methods, technology, writing instruction and 
writing administration, students have varied scholarly interests and do research on a wide 
range of dissertation topics. The program has a very strong placement record into 
tenure-line faculty positions at universities and colleges.
