Declaring a Major/Minor

Linguistics majors must satisfy the degree requirements in the College Bulletin of the year they formally declare. For further information, students should contact their advisors or the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr. Jennifer Nycz.

To switch to a Linguistics Major or add Linguistics as a double major, students must fill out an Academic Program Change Form, which can be found on the College of Arts & Sciences’ Forms page or at the Dean’s Office. This form must be signed by the student and the Director of Undergraduate Studies and returned to the Dean’s office.

Finally, as a linguistics major, you are eligible to complete the undergraduate interdisciplinary program in cognitive science for a minor in cognitive science. Students interested in studying language from an interdisciplinary perspective should consider the minor which would allow them to take courses from one or more of the programs’ participating disciplines: Biology, Computer Science, Linguistics (including specialists in linguistics from the world language departments), Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, and Psychology.
