Rhetoric Research Paper
Rhetoric Level students engage in a year-long Research Project. Students undertake rigorous research, reading, and writing on a selected topic of interest. Formulation of convincing articulation and persuasive argumentation prepares students for the culmination of their research and reasoning endeavors.

Each year, rhetoric students engage in advanced research and critical writing with the 40-Hour Project. This specialized project provides an opportunity for students to become experts on individualized topics of interest as they learn to analyze and draw scholarly inferences about a subject’s past, present, and future implications.
