Michigan State University College of Arts and Letters 4 courses
The minor in Linguistics, which is administered by the Department of Linguistics, Languages and Cultures will provide a minimum foundation in the field; general knowledge and basic findings and theories in one of the core areas of phonetics-phonology or syntax; and knowledge of one or two subfields selected according to the interest of the student. The minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs at Michigan State University other than the Bachelor of Arts degree in Linguistics. With the approval of the department and college that administers the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree. Students who plan to complete the requirements of the minor should consult the undergraduate advisor in the Department of Linguistics, Languages and Cultures.
