Current Minors
Rhetoric minors receive advising through the English Undergraduate Studies Office. Before meeting with an advisor, you may want to review the list of current courses.
Students are encouraged to communicate with an advisor at least once a semester to verify that all courses they hope to apply to the minor are eligible, to maintain a plan for all minor requirements to be fulfilled, to complete a senior-year audit of minor requirements, and/or to seek answers to other advising questions.

Entering the Minor
The College of Arts and Humanities (ARHU) has established a maximum enrollment in the Minor in Rhetoric. Students wishing to pursue the minor should check the ARHU minors page.
When enrollment in the minor is open, students can submit the online contact form to initiate the process of meeting with an advisor and officially declaring the minor.
University regulations specify that “to ensure appropriate academic advising, students who wish to pursue a minor should inform both the college responsible for their major and the unit offering the minor as early as possible, but in no case later than one full academic year before the expected date of graduation.” We recommend you seek admission to the minor and receive advising within the first six credits of your minor.
Dropping the Minor
If you no longer wish to pursue the Minor in Rhetoric, please contact Karen Lewis, Assistant Director of English Undergraduate Studies, to request that the minor be removed from your records.
