Ph.D in English with a Specialization in Composition and Rhetoric
Nebraska Writing Project institutes can serve as a main portion of a Ph.D. in English with a specialization in Composition and Rhetoric. The English doctorate is an individually-designed program of 90 hours beyond the Bachelors. Typically, the program consists of 30-36 hours accepted from a Masters degree program, an additional 24-30 hours of coursework, and 24-30 hours of dissertation credit. The Summer Institute (6 credits) and Advanced Institute (3 credits, can be retaken for up to 24 hours) count toward this degree.
Admitted doctoral students work with an advisory committee of 4-6 faculty to shape a program of courses and dissertation appropriate to their interests. The NeWP Director, or any of the Composition and Rhetoric faculty who work with NeWP, can advise doctoral students with NeWP experience in selecting an advisory committee.
