The Global Concentration in Linguistics is a cluster of courses with an international or global focus. The Global Concentration can be applied to any of the five linguistics majors. Students must satisfy the three requirements listed below to receive Global Concentration recognition on their academic transcripts. Requirement 1: A minimum of eight units earned through study abroad, of which a minimum of four units would count towards the major. These units may be earned through the Education Abroad Program, Opportunities Abroad Program or Global Seminars, and must have academic transcripts. Students petition to have courses counted towards their Global Concentration when they return from study abroad, just as they would petition to have courses count towards their major or minor.
