Five more courses drawn from LING or the following list: 15 Credits
o Any course cross-listed with LING.
o CGSC 170: Intro to Cog Sci
o CGSC 496: Psycholinguistics
o PHIL 205: Logic
- Four of these five must be 200, 300, or 400-level.
- It is recommended that students take LING 471 Discovering Human Language (which also counts as a DLE) and CGSC 496: Psycholinguistics as part of their electives.
- CGSC 170 provides a good foundation for CGSC 485, both of which have sections on language and cognition.
- Students major in Linguistics and majoring and minoring in Cognitive Science may not use the same courses for both degrees, with the exception of LING 101.
- Double majors -- who take two a B.S. and a B.A or those who major across colleges -- no longer need to take 30 extra credits, as long as the degrees are concurrent.
- 600-level courses will not count towards the B.A. in Linguistics
- Students must earn a C- or better in all courses for the major.
