General Information

Administration of the Program

The minor is housed in the College of Arts and Letters. The Linguistics Committee administers the program, provides advisement, and considers requests for elective substitutions. The committee consists of five faculty members who teach courses in the minor, appointed by the Provost. The chair of the committee, elected by committee members, signs applications to degree program and, after consultation with committee members, approves course substitutions.
