Learning Outcomes

The department expects undergraduate minors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes. These learning outcomes are used in evaluating students and the department's undergraduate minor program. By the end of the program, students are expected to be able to:

1. formulate theoretically interesting and tractable research questions;

2. find and collect information relevant to answering their research questions;

3. bring linguistic theory to bear in analyzing and evaluating information;

4. articulate the questions and outcomes of the process described in 1-3; and

5. engage with peers in an intellectual community around linguistic issues.
