- Demonstrate command over formal frameworks (understood broadly) and research techniques in linguistics—i.e. students should be able to answer research questions via syntactic, semantic, or phonological analysis; by designing and executing a simple experiment; or by engaging in other kinds research used by linguists.
- Participate in a meaningful learning experience that prepares the student to meet his/her goals after earning a linguistics degree.
