The Linguistics Minor consists of five linguistics courses.

1. LINGUIST 201 How Language Works:  Introduction to Linguistic Theory (R2)
2. LINGUIST 301 Introduction to Syntax OR LINGUIST 302 Fundamentals of Speech Sounds (formerly LINGUIST 390A)
3. Two Linguistics department courses at the 300-level or above.
4. One Linguistics department course at the 400-level or above.

Notes on the Minor:

1. All five courses must be taken for a letter grade and completed with a grade of at least a C.
2. Courses from other departments may NOT be substituted.
3. If you take both LINGUIST 301 and LINGUIST 302, then one of the two will count as your required 301/302 course and the other will count as one of your two additional 300+ courses.
4. If you have questions about the linguistics minor, contact the Minors Advisor.
