Query:	I am interested in extending the reach of linguistics beyond courses for future linguists and/or teacher education. There are disucssions across the U.S. about language policy, e.g. identifying English as an official language, and one going on here in Oklahoma. So it would seem important, nay critical, for us to try to reach students in other majors and educate them about language/linguistics. Here, we offer a course in Language & Culture to fulfill a humanities requirement. I am told that some schools offer linguistics as a lab science course to fulfill the lab science requirement. I would like to know how schools use linguistics-type classes in the general education curriculum. What linguistics-type courses do you offer that fulfill general education requirements and how/which category do they fulfill? I will post a summary
