Departmental Requirements

  • Students must have completed a minimum of 12 credits in Linguistics before undertaking an internship. It is up to students to find suitable host institutions. The department does not provide a list of such institutions.
  • Before undertaking an internship, students must find a faculty member in Linguistics who is willing to be their internship advisor. A proposal must be written by the student and approved by the internship advisor BEFORE the internship begins. Students must maintain regular contact with their advisor over the course of the internship. The internship will normally be completed in the summer but students will officially register for the internship course, LING 499, in the following fall term. The major topical paper, to be completed in the term in which the student is enrolled in Ling 499, will be assigned a letter grade (not pass/fail). Students will normally be permitted to complete only one internship in Linguistics; should an additional internship be deemed to be particularly appropriate to the student's course of studies, the student can petition the department to complete a second internship; if the student's request is approved by the department, the second internship course will count as an elective.
  • Students must complete the Faculty of Arts Internship Course Credit Approval Form (available in webform).
