English to include in AoC in Writing, Rhetoric, and Technology Program Description |
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) proposes the following concentration in Writing, Rhetoric, and Technology (WTRT) as part of the Bachelor’s Degree program in English. The proposed concentration represents a substantial revision of the current “Communication and Technology” track and, when approved, will function as a discrete, focused, and unique concentration in the English major and in the USM system. With a clearer identity grounded in currents in the discipline of rhetoric and composition, the proposed WTRT Concentration foregrounds the knowledge and skills that prepare students for <br>professional writing in a variety of genres. |
