The Honors Linguistics minor is a variant of the regular Linguistics Minor. The minor course requirements involve five courses in Linguistics, with H2000 or 5000 as one of the required courses. Each minor must include at least one 4000 core course plus one other Linguistics course at 4000 level or higher (excluding 5000). This requirement that one of the electives must be upper-level is the difference between the regular minor and the honors minor. The elective courses listed below are a sampling of available offerings. The electives should be chosen in consultation with the advisors in both the Major and Minor departments to meet a student’s particular needs and interests.
