Course Substitution Policy

Students may petition the department to have elective courses offered through other institutions or other University of California programs applied toward the minor requirements. At most two such courses can be applied toward the minor. These courses must be upper-division and clearly fit into a coherent program of study in linguistics. A list of approved courses from other UCSC departments is available in the Course Substitution Policy section of the Linguistics B.A. program statement. A list of approved outside courses being offered in the current or upcoming term may be found on the department website.
