Linguistics Honors Minor

There are two ways to attain an honors minor in Linguistics. One is to fulfill the requirements for one of the above minors, and then write a single honors research paper (as described under Honors Portfolio on the Majors page) in LING 199 (taken for only 0.5 credits).

The other is to fulfill the requirements for a course major in Linguistics. In that case, your thesis (written in LING 195) will count as your honors preparation.
