LING-MIN - Linguistics (Minor)

Requirements for the minor include at least 28 units of course work in Linguistics and related fields, approved in advance by the Linguistics Director of Undergraduate Studies. All courses must be taken for at least 3 units. No more than two courses may be taken on a credit/no credit basis (CR/NC). All required courses must be taken for letter grade of 'C-' or better. The courses counting towards the minor must be units beyond those needed to satisfy the student's major course of study.

External credits are not accepted toward the Linguistics Minor.

The department expects undergraduate minors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes. These learning outcomes are used in evaluating students and the department's undergraduate minor program. By the end of the program, students are expected to be able to:

1. formulate theoretically interesting and tractable research questions;

2. find and collect information relevant to answering their research questions;

3. bring linguistic theory to bear in analyzing and evaluating information;

4. articulate the questions and outcomes of the process described in 1-3; and

5. engage with peers in an intellectual community around linguistic issues.
