Our Applied Linguistics Minor
Tackle real-world problems
Take your foreign language studies a step further with our new applied linguistics minor.
You'll study how people acquire language, how best to teach it, how to translate in a culturally appropriate way and more-in a program that's virtually unheard of at the undergraduate level.
This minor pairs perfectly with majors and minors in French, German, Italian and Spanish, or alongside courses in beginner-level Chinese. It helps integrate your study of language with another pursuit, such as business, communications, education and international relations.
You'll apply what you know about language to real-world situations in such classes as:
- Psycholinguistics
- Second Language Acquisition
- Intercultural Communication
- English Language Learners
Stand out in the job market
You'll get hands-on education and experiences to propel you into the job market.
Immerse yourself in another language and culture when you study abroad for a semester—and gain an international internship experience.
Whether you're eyeing a career in education, medicine, law or another exciting field, you'll get the edge you need to navigate language boundaries and build human connections. This minor will help open doors to a career as a bilingual journalist or healthcare worker, translator, interpreter, international banker or financial manager, law enforcement officer or teacher.
