Notes

Linguistics courses that are language-specific (e.g., FREN 425 Phonology and Advanced Grammar, GERM 432 German Linguistics, SPAN 364 Spanish Phonetics and Phonology, SPAN 380 Spanish Applied Linguistics, SPAN 456 History of the Spanish Language) may count toward the 15 hours, but only ONE such course can be double counted toward a foreign language major or minor and linguistics minor. (Similarly, for English majors, only one course taken for English major credit may count toward the 15 hours.) In addition to the language-specific linguistics courses above, with committee approval, up to 2 semesters of foreign language courses may count toward the 15 hours if not taken to fulfill any other requirement.

No grade of “D” will be accepted toward the Linguistics Minor.
