Honors in Linguistics
The award of honors in linguistics is based upon completion of an acceptable
honors thesis. To be considered for honors, a
student must have at least a B+ average in linguistics courses, must secure
the approval of a faculty member who agrees to
serve as the honors thesis supervisor and a second faculty member who
will serve as a reader, and must submit a written
request to the program director for approval no later than the end of
the semester preceding the student's final semester.
Up to four credits may be obtained for the thesis by registering for LING
498. LING 498 may not be used, however,
toward fulfillment of the minimum course requirements for the major. By
the last day of classes in the student's final
semester, each honors thesis supervisor must submit written confirmation
that an acceptable thesis has been completed or
is certain to be completed by the end of the semester.
