Colloquium

Two one-credit colloquium courses, LING595A, are to be taken in the 1st and 2nd semesters.

Comprehensive exam “Prelim” course

Students are required to enroll in a one-credit course, LING697A, in their 4th or 5th semester that provides support in writing one of their written comprehensive exam papers.

Professionalism in Linguistics

There is a required one-credit course on professionalism, LING689, (separate from the comprehensive exam course) to be taken by the 6th semester. This class is required of all students. In addition, the graduate advisor will be responsible to meet with students in order to cover issues such as students’ survival skills, meetings with professors, planning graduate career, library resources, etc.

Seminars

A minimum of two seminar courses is required.  However, students are encouraged to attend all seminars that meet their curricular goals throughout their graduate career, and should consult with their advisor on the number and type of additional seminars to consider.

Before moving on to their dissertation research, students write a comprehensive exam in Anthropology and a qualifying 'prelim' paper in Linguistics (while taking the "Prelim" course; see above). During dissertation research, students must register for at least 18 dissertation units, in compliance with Graduate College regulations.

Major and minor: For University paperwork (i.e. GradPath), ANLI students have "ANLI" as both major and minor. ANLI students do not need to choose a Department-internal major or minor specialization, as ANLI serves as their specialization.
