Linguistics minor
Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. Linguists apply scientific methodology to language with the goal of understanding how human language works – cognitively, biologically, physically, and socially. Even though linguists are scientists of language, language is ultimately a social tool. The linguistics minor bridges the social and cultural aspects of linguistics with the more structural, systematic aspects of the study. Students from a wide variety of majors take linguistics to complement their field of study.
