I am a rising senior studying International Relations and Literature in Washington, DC. My career goal is to teach writing (introductory composition) at a community college or a small liberal arts college. I am looking at Master's degrees in the Midwest (I am from Minnesota), and the top contenders are DePaul's Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse program; Iowa State's Rhetoric, Composition, and Professional Communication program; and Illinois State University's Writing program. What do you all think about these programs?
tl;dr I'm looking for a rigorous Master's program in the Midwest that allows me to take pedagogy courses and gain experience teaching. Funding wouldn't hurt either.
