Business Rhetoric -

This course helps business professionals improve their writing so they are better equipped to accomplish their educational and professional goals. While covering the primary forms of business writing (memos, cover letters, resumes, proposals, PowerPoint presentations, and longer reports), we focus on developing clear sentences, coherent paragraphs, and well-organized documents. Students become adept at the rhetoric of business writing—that is, those elements of writing that best persuade readers—and apply Aristotelian rules of communication to the writing they do at work. They hone these skills in short exercises, a full-length proposal, and a final project. (4 credits)

Prerequisite(s): Proof of English proficiency is required of students whose native language is not English.

Note: This course is taught in multiple sections during each semester. When you select your course, please note which instructor teaches that particular section.
