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.
