The Linguistics major is offered at Pomona and Pitzer Colleges and may be available to Scripps students. Please consult with the appropriate department chair (or equivalent) at the home college to discuss specific major/minor requirements. Scripps students who declare this major must complete a senior thesis. In addition to having a faculty major advisor in this discipline, Scripps students must maintain a primary Scripps faculty advisor.
Linguistics as a discipline focuses on the scientific study of human language including its theoretical, descriptive, social and behavioral bases. It also serves as a privileged window into human cognition. Our evolving understanding of language has had, and continues to have, a profound influence on fields as diverse as philosophy, psychology, anthropology, sociology, literature, music and computer science.
Please see the Pitzer College catalog or the Pomona College catalog for information about the Linguistics major/minor requirements.
