The General track emphasizes fundamental aspects of theoretical linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, syntax, and semantics, while allowing students to explore experimental approaches and select electives such as advanced foreign language classes. The Applied track maintains this theoretical foundation while incorporating specialized coursework in language instruction and teaching 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.
