Overview

The English Writing, Rhetoric and Technology programme offered by the University of Colorado Denver asks students to take one of two introductory courses, a multimedia course (two course options), a language theory/sociolinguistics course (three course options), and two advanced topics courses (with a range of options). The remainder of the degree is seven courses chosen from a long list, which can include two courses outside the English Writing, Rhetoric & Technology focus (such as creative writing workshops, film courses, or courses in related majors). For all the details, please review the advising sheets for the English Writing, Rhetoric & Technology Major.

General Requirements

Students majoring in English Writing, Rhetoric & Technology Major (EWRT) must complete 36 hours in EWRT. Twenty-seven hours must be earned in upper-division courses. Courses completed with a grade of C- (1.7) or better will be counted toward the major; none of the 36 hours may be taken pass/fail. A minimum of 15 upper-division hours of work in the EWRT major must be taken with the CU Denver English faculty. Core composition courses (English 1020 and 2030) do not count toward the EWRT major, nor does CLEP or AP credit. Students may not count more than 56 hours in the English department toward graduation; double majors in EWRT and ENGL are exempt (and are required to complete 63 hours). The English Department also offers a minor in Literature, Writing, Creative Writing and Film Studies.
