Pre-Approved Courses

Students do not require special permission to take any course offered through the Department of Linguistics, subject to the University requirement that only courses numbered 400 and higher can be counted toward a graduate degree. Naturally, the advisor should always play a role in the selection of the curriculum.

Courses offered by other departments must be approved by the graduate chair, generally in consultation with the student's advisor. The following courses are, however, pre-approved for all students and do not require further permission, but should also be discussed with the advisor.

• ANTH 603 - Language in Culture and Society
• CIS 520 - Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
• CIS 530 - Computational Linguistics
• CIS 630 - Natural Language Processing
• COGS 501 - Mathematical Foundations for the Study of Language and Communication I
• COGS 502 - Mathematical Foundations for the Study of Language and Communication II
• PHIL 505 - Formal Logic I
• PHIL 506 - Formal Logic II
• PHIL 540 - Topics in the Philosophy of Language
• PSYC 600 - Proseminar in Psycholinguistics
• PSYC 604 - Cognitive Neuroscience
• STAT 500 - Applied Regression and Analysis of Variance

Courses that are cross-listed between Linguistics and another department should normally be taken under the Linguistics rubric.
