Honors in Major in Linguistics

Honors students must maintain an overall 3.20 grade point average and a 3.20 average in the major. 16 credits of honors coursework are required, as follows:

 

Students must successfully complete LING 793H (Phonetics and Phonology) and LING 794H (Syntax and Semantic Theory), and ONE course from the list below. Each of these courses will require additional work from honors students, which must be recorded on a Change of Honors Designation Form.

 

Students must successfully complete a written thesis/project for LING 795H/796H (Senior Honors, 4 credits), under the supervision of a member of the Interdepartmental Linguistics faculty. The proposal for the thesis project will be approved by the Linguistics Coordinator, subject to review by the Interdepartmental Linguistics Committee.
