专业介绍

The major combines the basic courses of the general linguistics program with that of philosophy, for students who are reflective about their beliefs or who wish to become so. Students enrich their knowledge about the nature, grammar, and history of human language, and are given the opportunity to ponder the foundations of almost any other subject to which they are exposed — whether history, religion, government, law, or science.

Please note there were some changes made to the LING & PHILOS major that went into effect Fall 2023. The new LING & PHILOS program requirements will apply to any student entering the major in Fall 2023 and beyond. If you were already in the major before Fall 2023 and would like to switch to the new program, please send an email to the undergraduate student advisor.
