LINGUISTICS MINOR

TheÌýMinor in LinguisticsÌýconsists ofÌý15 credits (5 courses). All courses must be passed with a grade of ‘C’ or better. At least 75% of all minor credits must be from FAU. Courses taken on study abroad may be counted toward the minor if they are approved by the student’s advisor before the student begins the study abroad program. Students majoring in a language are strongly encouraged to pursue a double major/concentration in Linguistics or a minor in Linguistics.Ìý

Please note that the Linguistics MinorÌýwasÌýrevised in Spring 2021, so please make sure to consultÌýthe correct checklist for your cohort.ÌýThe changes to the minor make it easier to combine the minor with the ESL Studies Certificate - if you are pursuing the Certificate, you would just need to take as few as two additional (theoretical) courses to receive both the Certificate and the minor.

If you start the Linguistics Minor in Spring 21 or later, you will be automatically enrolled in the revised minor. If you are a current student and are not scheduled to graduate until Spring 21 or later, you may be able to switch to the revised minor - please reach out toÌýyour advisor or contact the Linguistics ProgramÌýfor more information.
