It provides students with knowledge and understanding of contemporary topics and problems in linguistics in areas such as Indo-European, non-Indo-European, and classical languages, diachronic and synchronic linguistics, and anthropological, sociological, applied and theoretical linguistics.

To pursue a minor in linguistics, students must complete 15 hours including an introductory linguistics class as well as six hours of linguistic electives at the 3000 level and six hours at the 4000 level. All courses must be approved by the linguistics advisor.
