51ÁÔÆæ Linguistics offers both a\u00a0major\u00a0and a\u00a0minor\u00a0for undergraduates, and with the major two options are available: General Linguistics and Applied Linguistics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The General option focuses on the core areas of theoretical linguistics (phonetics, phonology, syntax, and semantics), with ample opportunity to include courses incorporating experimental methods, as well as electives, including advanced foreign language courses.\u00a0The Applied options also covers the core theoretical areas, but adds a focus on language teaching and pedagogy. Both the major and the minor can be easily combined with other programs of study, such as psychology, communication sciences and disorders, computer science, philosophy, anthropology, world languages, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linguistics\u00a0offers excellent training and preparation for careers in a wide variety of industries, as well as for graduate study in linguistics and related fields.\u00a0See our\u00a0Linguistics Careers<\/a>\u00a0page for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
