Minor in Linguistics

The Linguistics minor consists of LIGN 101, plus six additional courses in linguistics, at least four of which must be upper-division.

For all courses counted toward the linguistics minor, the student must receive letter grades of C– or better. Courses counted toward the minor may not be taken on a Pass/Not Pass basis, except LIGN 199. Only one quarter of LIGN 199 may be counted toward the minor.

The Language Studies minor consists of seven courses, at least five of which must be upper-division:

Linguistics: LIGN 101 is required. In addition students must take a "Structure of " language of concentration course (e.g., LIGN 143 Structure of Spanish). If no such course is available, the student must consult with the undergraduate adviser regarding a possible substitution.

Literature: One upper-division literature course is required in the language of concentration. This will require proficiency as well as lower-division prerequisites. Therefore, the lower-division courses of the minor may consist of prerequisites for the upper-division literature requirement. American Sign Language students may substitute a non- literature upper-division elective with approval of the faculty adviser.

Other: Two additional courses that deal with general linguistics, the language of concentration (e.g., literature), or the corresponding culture, subject to approval of the faculty adviser are required.
