Program Overview

Introduction to the Linguistics Program for Pre-Speech and Hearing Students

The undergraduate major in Linguistics provides students with a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of human language, serving as a useful background for graduate work in Speech & Hearing Science.


Program Structure

The Linguistics major consists of 3 core courses and 4 electives, offering flexibility in designing an individual program of study within the major. Some elective course requirements can be fulfilled with certain Communication (COMM) and/or SPHS courses.


Linguistics as a Compatible Major

Students who complete the undergraduate major in Linguistics will gain an understanding of many aspects of normally developing human language. This is a useful background for graduate work in Speech & Hearing Science.


How UNC SPHS Courses Fit the Linguistics Major

Graduate programs in speech and hearing sciences often expect applicants to have completed certain types of courses before they begin their graduate work. Different graduate programs may have different requirements.
