Rhetoric & Writing Position

 

Bowling Green State University 

Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Writing

The program focuses on preparing women and men for professional careers in rhetoric, writing and  teaching. William Covino once described our program as  "distinctive for its clear emphasis on the teaching of writing," adding that "as dozens of programs have emerged in the last decade, BGSU's has maintained its mission and distinction." 

This mission includes opportunities for BGSU's rhetoric and writing students to teach first-year and other writing courses in traditional and computer mediated classrooms, as well as opportunities to gain experience in areas such as Writing Program Administration and Writing Center tutoring.  Beyond teaching experience, students in our doctoral program gain expertise in composition and rhetorical theory, and begin working in a variety of scholarly and professional pursuits.

 


Please direct all requests for information, or questions about the program to Dr. Richard Gebhardt, Rhetoric and Writing Program Coordinator, at richgeb@bgnet.bgsu.edu or Mary Ann Sweeney, Graduate Secretary at masween@bgnet.bgsu.edu.
