Minimum University Units
Degree Requirements
Students must complete 30 units of coursework in Linguistics. At least 20 units must be graduate courses at the 200 level or above; 10 units may be at the 100 level or above, but they may not be below the 100 level.
Courses submitted for the minor may not be double-counted in satisfaction of degree requirements for the student’s doctoral or any other program. Individual programs should be worked out in advance with the student’s PhD minor advisor in Linguistics. Most of the courses taken toward the 30 units of coursework must be taken for a letter grade. These should include the three required introductory courses, all completed with at least a B and taken for four units. The overall coursework grade point average (GPA) must be at least 3.0 (B).
The Department of Linguistics does not require the student’s Linguistics advisor to serve on the student’s University Oral Examination committee.
The coursework for the minor must include one introductory course in each of phonetics/phonology, syntax, and semantics/pragmatics; these requirements are typically fulfilled by the following:
