Writing & Rhetoric Minor

The minor consists of two units of work, distributed in the following way:

  • 1-2/3 unit (five courses) in Writing and Rhetoric (WR prefix), no more than two of which can be at the 1000-level
  • Capstone course WR 3112 Rhetorical Theory

Notes: No more than 1 unit of course work may be double-counted toward the Humanities and Arts Requirement (may include a WR-focused HU3900/3910). Students matriculated before the 2025-26 academic year can follow the minor requirements from any year they attended WPI. See the corresponding year’s Undergraduate Catalog for that year’s minor requirements.
