Courses
The Department of Linguistics courses not only give a solid foundation to our own graduate program, but also complement studies in other programs, such as brain and cognitive sciences, computer science, and philosophy.
Students who have never taken linguistics may be required to complete LING 110: Introduction to Linguistic Analysis, along with other prerequisite courses, before taking their desired graduate course.
