自1980年成立以来，《博天堂官方》杂志 & 写作博天堂官方网站 Doctoral Program has been committed to preparing its graduates for faculty careers in rhetoric and composition. 该计划运用了一系列的方法——修辞, 文化, 经验, and technological--that characterize the discipline in the twenty-first century.  

任务

我们相信修辞和写作能改变世界. 我们学习修辞学和写作. 采用不同的博天堂官方网站方法和方法, we learn about the role and impact of rhetoric and writing in various contexts, 社区, 和文化, and we share our research in a variety of forms to diverse audiences to change worlds. 我们教修辞学和写作. 借鉴我们这个领域对写作的了解, we design innovative curricula and classroom practices to teach students how to use writing to change their worlds. 最后，我们用修辞和写作来制造东西. Our research and teaching improves how we ourselves employ rhetoric and writing, and we make rhetoric and writing projects that change worlds through community engagement. 简而言之, BGSU’s Doctoral Program 在修辞 and 写作博天堂官方网站 prepares graduate students to be leaders advocating for the power of rhetoric and writing to change worlds and impact public good as researchers, 老师, 项目董事, 和作家.
