By declaring a minor in linguistics, you get to analyze the nature and structure of language through an interdisciplinary approach.
Declaring a minor allows you to explore interests outside of your major and make interdisciplinary connections. A minor in linguistics will set you apart as a candidate in such fields as foreign service, international business, translation and interpreting, lexicography, teaching, information technology, technical writing, and publishing, among others.
