The UWM Linguistics program provides undergraduate students with options for either a major (30 credits) or minor (18 credits). The major features two distinct pathways: General Linguistics and Applied Linguistics. The General track emphasizes fundamental theoretical linguistics disciplines (phonetics, phonology, syntax, and semantics), while offering flexibility to incorporate experimental approaches and elective courses, including advanced foreign language studies. The Applied track maintains this theoretical foundation while specializing in language instruction and educational methodologies. Both the major and minor programs complement various academic disciplines, including Psychology, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Computer Science, Philosophy, Anthropology, and foreign language studies, among others.
