Courses

Undergraduate courses

The Department offers programs in Linguistics, as well as combined programs with language departments and with Philosophy, as shown in the Programs of Study in the Faculty of Arts and Science Calendar.

Part-time students should note that most of the summer and evening courses available to them are offered on a rotating basis only. Consequently, students wishing to take such courses should enroll in them at the earliest opportunity after completing the necessary prerequisites.

In addition to the undergraduate curriculum within the Department of Linguistics, there are courses relating to linguistics offered in other departments such as the language departments, Anthropology, Computer Science, and Philosophy, and in the Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence program.

Language areas of specialization include Athapaskan, Inuktitut, Austronesian, Korean, British and Canadian English.
