Learn to Write Effectively in a Variety of Professional Settings

With a Master of Arts in Literature with a Concentration in Composition and Rhetoric from University of Houston-Clear Lake, you can develop your professional skills through a wide variety of seminars in Creative, Business, Multimedia, or Professional Writing. You can also focus on your own ability to teach Composition to others.

Great Communication Skills Set You Apart

The concentration in Composition and Rhetoric helps students pursuing the M.A. in Literature to refine their professional skills in writing and editing, and equips them with theoretical tools to teach and conduct research in writing and multimodal discourse. Reading widely across history and a range of theoretical approaches enables students to become conversant in major questions posed by rhetoric, composition, poetics, and the crafts of fiction and nonfiction prose. Students can choose courses for an array of prospective careers: a focus on pedagogy equips students to teach writing at the community college and university level; creative writing prepares students for careers in trade publishing; and rhetoric trains students in the advanced communication skills demanded for success in business.
