Linguistics, B.A.

The following Four-Year Roadmaps are meant to be a guide for students and academic advisors in planning a path to a degree within four years (eight semesters) if the student is able and willing to do so. The set of courses shown below are based exclusively on the Fall 2023 Catalog and the most up to date General Education (GE) Program in that catalog year. The requirements outlined may not apply to students in earlier catalog years, especially in the GE courses required in specific categories. Please note that courses identified in the Four -Year Roadmaps may not always be available during each of the prescribed semesters, therefore, it is always recommended to consult an academic advisor. Advisors may need to adjust the courses in the Four-Year Roadmap to keep students on track to graduate in four years.  "Students are strongly encouraged to meet with the Linguistics major advisor as soon as they declare the major to determine if the language requirement can be waived."
