M.A. Linguistics Option
The option is designed for Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ who wish to pursue studies of linguistics, languages, or linguistic analysis. The program’s focus is on regional Native American languages, native language revitalization and maintenance, and English as a second language.
The Linguistics Option is primarily oriented toward academic research and most Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ conduct original research that results in a thesis that is used to satisfy the MA degree requirements. Classes are chosen with advice from a faculty advisor to fulfill the student's goals.
Students who satisfactorily complete the following core requirements will earn the Master of Arts degree in Anthropology with the Linguistics option.
- Anthropology 500, LING 570, and 6 credits in additional Anthropology or Linguistics graduate seminars; this total may include 3 credits in an appropriate cooperative education experience (internship).
- A total 1 to 10 credits in ANTH 599, consistent with graduate school requirements (6 credits recommended).
- Four courses from LING 470-475 or 484, if not taken as an undergraduate.
NOTE: This option differs from the MA in Linguistics, offered through the Linguistics Program.
