A number of graduate students in the M.A. Program in English go on to teach writing at community colleges, and a few teach in UNF's Writing Program. Moreover, most secondary-level English teachers give some form of writing instruction. The program provides students the option of taking courses in rhetoric and composition, which will enhance their qualifications for this kind of work. The program also recommends this concentration for students wishing to pursue careers as technical writers, editors, or Internet publishers. The concentration consists of nine-credit hours (three courses). Students take courses in theory, research, pedagogical issues, and/or technical writing.Students may also take a teaching practicum following the completion of background courses in composition and rhetoric.
