Linguistics - Interdisciplinary Language Studies Option, B.A.
|
|
Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements
A B.A. with a major in linguistics requires 36-46 units completed, depending on which option, the General Education requirement, specific course/skill requirements, and electives and remaining degree requirements totaling at least the 120 units required for a B.A.
In each option, students receive a basic grounding in the nature and structure of human language. The option in Interdisciplinary Language Studies supplements the core foundation with extensive study in one or more languages other than English, and can thus prepare students for work in translating and interpreting, among other careers where extensive knowledge of language is required.
