The Department of Linguistics offers instruction in introductory,
intermediate, and advanced topics in phonology, morphology, syntax, and
semantics. It also offers course work in Native American languages of the
Southwest (e.g., Navajo and Tohono O'odham) and courses on the native
languages of North America. Undergraduate majors in linguistics are prepared
to undertake professional graduate studies in linguistics and related areas or
to pursue careers in such language related fields as education, publishing,
and certain sectors of business.
In addition to required linguistics courses, undergraduate students are
required to take one year of an uncommonly taught language, and are urged to
continue their foreign language study beyond the minimum required by the
college.
Although the linguistics major does not depend heavily on numerical and
quantitative skills, mathematics training is a significant benefit for
understanding many areas in the discipline, as well as for graduate study in
linguistics and many other fields.
