Linguistics Certificate Course

This interdisciplinary Certificate (12 credit hours total) connects studies of the physical structures and mental processes involved in human language; the psychological and social factors that enable humans to acquire, use, comprehend and produce language; and the application of computer science to language and technology.

A compelling complement to the study of computer science, psychology, or a specific foreign language, the Minor is designed for undergraduates who have an interest in theoretical or applied linguistics, culture, psychology, or language technology; and for students who will enter a wide range of careers, such as language education, educational design, language technology, and human/computer interaction.

All courses must be taken on a letter-grade basis and a grade of C or better must be received in each course. Nine of the twelve hours must be at the 3000 levels or above; no more than six hours (two courses) may be Special Topics.
