200 | 300 | 400 | Graduate Courses Linguistics (Ling) www.engl.iastate.edu/tesling/ba.html (Interdepartmental Program) Program Committee: D. Bratsch-Prince, Undergraduate Study The linguistics program is a cross-disciplinary program
in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences designed to meet the needs of students
interested in various aspects of language—its structure, history, varieties,
meanings, and uses. The program includes courses in anthropology, English, computer
science, foreign languages and literatures, psychology, and speech communication, thus
providing a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of human language. Courses in linguistics serve as background for students
interested in any career that involves working with language, such as anthropology,
computer word processing, foreign language teaching, teaching English both as a first and
as a second language, psychology, sociology, speech-language pathology and audiology. In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, courses in
linguistics can be applied as electives or as part of the group requirements. They may
also be used in a minor or in a major. Majors in linguistics complete a minimum of 33 hours in
courses from the list below. Courses specifically required are Ling 219, 309, 371, 419,
and one of the following: 420, 492, or 498. Credit for only one course from the following
set may be applied toward the major: 486, 487, 524, 525. To graduate with a major in
linguistics, a student must earn a C (not a C–) or better in each of the courses
taken to fulfill the minimum requirements of the program of study in linguistics. Students
who believe they have extenuating circumstances may appeal to the chair of the supervisory
committee. In addition, majors in linguistics must show proficiency in a foreign language
equivalent to that achieved after two years of university-level study. Minors in linguistics are usually individually tailored
to the interests of the student, who consults with the chair of the supervisory committee
for linguistics. All minors must have a minimum of 15 credits in linguistics, of which 6
must be in courses numbered over 300. All programs must include Ling 219 or 309. English proficiency requirement: The linguistics program
requires grades of C or better in each of the following: English 104; 105 (or 105H); and
one of English 305, 314, or a Foreign Language 370 course. For information about using linguistics courses in an
interdisciplinary studies major, see Liberal Arts and Sciences, Cross-Disciplinary
Studies. Graduate Study A graduate minor in linguistics is offered through a
cooperative agreement with the departments and programs of Anthropology, Computer Science,
English, Foreign Languages and Literatures, Psychology, and Speech Communication. The
minor permits students to investigate a variety of aspects of linguistics, emphasizing the
ability to think about language in a systematic and disciplined way and to apply the
methods of the field to research problems in their own disciplines. For the master’s degree, a declared minor consists
of 9 credits in linguistics including two foundation courses (511 and either 514 or 516)
and one elective from the list of courses approved for graduate credit. For the Ph.D.
degree, the minor consists of 12 credits in linguistics including three foundation courses
(511, 514, and 516) and one elective. It is recommended that the elective course be taken
in a department other than English. Additional courses beyond those listed below may be
used as electives. The chair of the supervisory committee can provide information about
these. At least one member of the linguistics faculty will
serve on a student’s program of study committee. A list of faculty members may be
obtained from the chair of the supervisory committee. Ph.D. candidates will write one
section of the preliminary examination on an area of linguistics. All students in the
minor are expected to attend linguistics lectures and colloquia. Students in English with
a specialization in Teaching English as a Second Language/Linguistics are not eligible for
a graduate minor in linguistics. Courses open for nonmajor graduate credit: 331, 413,
