<p>diontechristmas its called a safety school, plus it has a good business program.</p>
<p>^^ I thought Midd didn’t offer a ling major, or even a ling minor. It’s famous for foreign languages, not linguistics.</p>
<p>You’re right, it doesn’t have it, but considering it does have great foreign language departments it’s still on my list.</p>
<p>State: NY
Probable Major: Journalism with a double major/minor in sociology, history or English</p>

Emerson College
CUNY Brooklyn (Macaulay Honors)
SUNY Buffalo
SUNY Stonybrook
SUNY Oswego
SUNY Plattsburgh
(possibly) NYU, not sure yet</p>
<p>Middlebury is supposed to establish a linguistics minor this coming year.</p>
<p>^ Oooh? Really? I hadn’t seen evidence of many linguistics courses at all, but I didn’t look very closely. Any links?</p>
<p>Midd is a back-and-forth maybe for me, and one of the major strikes against is the lack of ling.</p>

<p>no its not, how would you even know?</p>
<p>Because I live right by the school and know that it is a diploma mill.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ok, when you go to the school then ill believe you.</p>
<p>haematic, do you speak another language by any chance?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL okay. Ignore the advice of someone who has lived 5 minutes away from the school for his entire life and knows it very well. If you want a degree worth less than my high school diploma, go right ahead.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not fluently, why do you ask?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Keilexandra, if you’re giving serious thought to a graduate degree in linguistics, then an undergraduate major in it really is not essential. A school with strong language programs, plus philosophy, neuroscience, or possibly math, could serve you just as well. You may even be better off getting your foundation courses in morphology, syntax and semantics at the beginning of grad school at a top research university (Berkeley, Chicago etc.) than at a LAC. This is a field where research breadth and depth matter; it has gone through major shifts in the last 50 years.</p>
<p>i was thinking about majoring in linguistics too. i’ve heard that being fluent in another language helps you tremendously. kinda part of the reason i might not major in it. i’d love to minor in it though.</p>
<p>Don’t let that stop you from thinking of it as possibility. Of course, background in another language is beneficial but it’s certainly not required. You can always take foreign language classes in college, too.</p>

</p>
<p>Ok, im going to not apply to a college because some other high schooler on this site told me its not a good school.</p>
