Bachelor of Science Computer Science + Writing & Rhetoric

A graduate of the Computer Science + Writing & Rhetoric (CS + W&R) bachelor’s program will be ideally suited for many positions in writing and computer science. A richly interdisciplinary field drawing on humanistic and social science methodologies, rhetoric and writing studies will complement technical training in CS with the capacity to assess and communicate in writing the ethical, cultural, and political affordances and constraints of social computing. With the ongoing intersection of social behaviors and computational systems, including the proliferation of AI, professionals with theoretical and practical capacity in both computer science and rhetoric and writing are well positioned to keep pace with technical developments in both computing and society.
