Why Rhetoric?

  	
           Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- 
           I took the one less travelled by, 
           And that has made all the difference.
	                                  - Robert Frost

Each of us will come to different points in life when we face choices between diverging roads. Like the narrator of Robert Frost's poem notes, the road we choose will make "all the difference" in the outcome of our lives. One such crucial decision is what kind of education to pursue. In large part, the usefulness of your education will depend on how you focus your studies. In a world where specialties are what set you apart, an unspecific education is no longer a viable option.

Effective communication and the ability to persuade are essential to success in all occupations. The rhetoric and writing emphasis offers first-class training in persuasive discourse, both written and oral, that will prepare you to excel in whichever road you choose to travel.
