GRADUATE CERTIFICIATE IN INDO-EUROPEAN STUDIES

Some graduate students in other departments such as Classics or Linguistics may choose to take significant coursework in Indo-European Studies. Those who wish to receive formal recognition for such study may now earn a graduate certificate in Indo-European Studies.

REQUIREMENTS

The graduate certificate in Indo-European Studies requires a minimum of 6 quarter courses, structured as follows:

  • Required:
    • IE ST M150 (Introduction to Indo-European Linguistics), and
    • Two courses from the following:
      • IE ST 205 (Indo-European Phonology)
      • IE ST 210 (Indo-European Morphology)
      • IE ST 215 (Indo-European Syntax)
  • Electives:
    • Three additional courses, one of which must be an IE ST 200-level course, with the remaining two chosen from any course with Indo-European relevance from Asian Languages and Cultures, Classics, English, Germanic Languages, Indo-European Studies, Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, Scandinavian, or Slavic Languages and Literatures.

      Electives will ideally form a coherent grouping (e.g., a course in an older Indo-European language and a course in the history of that language). All elective choices are subject to the approval of the Director of Indo-European Studies in consultation with the Graduate Advisor of the student’s home department or program.
