Linguistics Minor - Program Requirements

Minimum GPA of 2.0 overall.
Minimum GPA of 2.5 in the prerequisite courses.

Due to the fact that relatively few students arrive at UB having taken a significant number of linguistics courses, the Department of Linguistics does not have specific transfer credit policies. The possibility of transfer credits can be discussed on a case-by-case basis with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

LIN 205 Introduction to Linguistic Analysis
LIN 207 Language, Society, and the Individual

LIN 301 Structure of English: Grammar and Lexicon
LIN 302 Structure of English: The Sound System
Two additional linguistics courses

UB Seminar courses cannot count towards minor requirements. 

Minors and certificates must be completed in conjunction with a major and all university degree requirements must be met.

Students should consult with an academic advisor to determine how any transfer or exam credit might be utilized in meeting general education, prerequisite, or major requirements.
