Linguistics/Linguistics & Cognitive Science 4+1 (BA/MA)

c. Degree Requirements for the Master of Arts in Linguistics and Cognitive Science and the BS in Cognitive Science

The graduate level course requirements for students in the Combined BS/BA and MA option are the same as those for the MA in Linguistics and Cognitive Science. The course requirements for the degree include 30 credit hours planned in consultation with the student’s advisor and the Director of Graduate Studies, which must include at least 21 credit hours in the Linguistics Department and at least one 800-level seminar. The MA in Linguistics and Cognitive Science is a flexible program of study that provides training in both Linguistics and Cognitive Science. Separate tracks are provided for students whose emphasis is clearly in Cognitive Science or in Linguistics. In addition, students may propose a program of study that combines elements of the Linguistics and Cognitive Science tracks. See the Department’s Graduate Policy Statement for additional information. Students in the Combined BS/BA and MA option must fulfill all graduate and undergraduate course requirements for both the MA and their undergraduate degree.
