Linguistics Major
|
|
The linguistics major is composed of 10 courses, plus the senior exercise.
All linguistics majors take the senior seminar, which includes writing a senior seminar paper. Students who wish to write a senior thesis may apply to do so. Senior thesis project proposals are evaluated by the faculty at the end of the senior seminar. If approved, thesis students will continue their work from the senior seminar and take the thesis course in the spring semester to complete their thesis.
