| Title: | Linguistics to Satisfy General Ed. Requirements |
| Submitter: | D. Eric Holt |
| Description: | Dear colleagues,
The University of South Carolina is currently implementing a new set of General Education requirements, and any course a unit would like to have count towards fulfillment of these new requirements will need to submit these courses (whether previously existing or newly proposed) for vetting. Depending on the content of courses in our program, linguistics courses at the University of South Carolina may meet Humanities or Social Science distribution requirements. I would like to know what other university or college requirements linguistics courses at various institutions are used to satisfy (but not for major or minor). Are linguistics courses used elsewhere to meet requirements like Analytical Reasoning or Science/Scientific Literacy/Reasoning? If so, were these courses difficult to have designated this way, and how do these courses differ from other/similar introductory courses? If there are sufficient responses and interest, I’ll be happy to post a summary to the list. D. Eric Holt, PhD Director, Linguistics Program University of South Carolina |
