*For students who have already demonstrated proficiency in one language at the 210 level, there are additional options for completing the language requirement: taking a 110 -or 120-level course in one of the languages not closely related to the language in which the student already has the 210-level proficiency or taking ED 300S, ED 301, AND ED 302: Sign Language I, II, and III. The student should see his or her adviser or any member of the Linguistics Committee for details.
Equivalent courses in other languages taken abroad or at another institution, as a special topics course or independent study, or in an online or hybrid course may also apply. Such a course may be chosen with the approval of the student’s advisors and the Linguistics Committee
Optional Capstone:
Seniors may choose to incorporate linguistics into their capstone experience, such as a thesis or project, in their POE departments. Alternatively, a senior project in linguistics could be done as an independent study with a member or members of the Linguistics Committee. Neither is required for the Secondary Emphasis in Linguistics.
Advising:
A student with a Secondary Emphasis in Linguistics is strongly encouraged to have one of the members of the Linguistics Committee as one of his or her advisors.
