Faculty Advisors

If you are a prospective major in Linguistics or Language Studies, your first step should be to attend one of the major declaration meetings for basic information and for help filling out the Declaration of Major form. You can get more information about these meetings here.

If you are a current major in Linguistics or Language Studies, staff advisors are your best source of information and advice about the logistics of satisfying the requirements for the major. Linguistics faculty are your best source for advice about intellectual matters and about how to prepare for graduate school and beyond.

You should feel free to meet with any faculty member for advising, but it may make sense to speak with a staff advisor first, to find out which faculty member might be best placed to advise you about your interests or concerns.

In particular, if you are considering the option of a senior thesis, it is essential to speak to a faculty member as early as possible in the process, to get guidance and to begin developing your ideas. You can find the current office hours for all faculty members here.

For issues specifically related to the undergraduate program, you can turn to the Undergraduate Program Director Sandy Chung for advice and help. Sandy's office hours for Fall 2009 are:

You can also talk to Department Chair Jim McCloskey. Jim's office hours for Fall 2009 are:
