Linguistics
Linguistics is an interdisciplinary program combining resources from English,
anthropology, psychology, philosophy, computer science, and the foreign
languages, to develop an understanding of the nature and implications of human
language. The Linguistics program provides solid foundations in phonological and
grammatical analysis, as well as opportunities to investigate the social,
cultural, psychological, and physical aspects of language use.
Bachelor of Science with a major in LINGUISTICS 120 hours (minimum)
Any student earning a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree must complete a minimum
of 60 hours in natural, physical, mathematical, and computer science. Please
note: courses with an LIN prefix are generally not accepted towards fulfilling
this 60-hour requirement. Therefore, be sure to keep this requirement in mind as
you choose your course work for the requirements in the major. A complete
description of College requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree, including
a specific listing of courses applicable to the 60 hour requirement, can be
found on
page 96 of this publication.
