Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs

A minor in Modern Languages, Linguistics and Intercultural Communication (MLLI) allows students to develop proficiency in a foreign language, to learn about the nature of language and to become familiar with the societies in which different languages are spoken. A minor in MLLI will assist students in developing communication skills and in understanding the complexities of an increasingly interdependent, multilingual and multicultural world. It will enrich students’ learning experience and enhance their career potential.

The MLLI applied linguistics minor requires a total of 21 credits:


6 credits chosen from other LING courses at the 300 or 400 level.


Note:


A cognate course in another discipline (e.g., MLL 413 , PHIL 455 , PSYC 316 , ENGL 490 ) or a language-specific linguistics course (e.g. FREN 331, FREN 332, FREN 438/GERM 331, GERM 332 , GERM 438/RUSS 331, RUSS 332 , RUSS 438 /SPAN 331 , SPAN 332, SPAN 438 ) may substitute for one of the LING courses with the approval of a designated LING major advisor.

Note:


All students desiring to complete a minor in MLLI-language, applied linguistics, Chinese language and culture, or Korean language and culture must have a designated minor advisor and select courses with the approval of that advisor.
