UCLA’s Linguistics B.A. provides a rigorous foundation in the scientific study of human language across core subfields—phonetics, phonology, syntax, and semantics—augmented by electives such as experimental phonetics, historical linguistics, language development, and language processing. Students must earn a C or better in Linguistics 20 before advancing to upper-division work and maintain at least a 2.0 GPA in linguistics courses. The major includes required sequences (e.g., 103, 120A/B/C) and advanced options (e.g., 165A/B/C, with the possibility to substitute graduate 200A–C by consent for high-performing students). Three upper-division linguistics electives complete the program, with limited independent study credit allowed. An optional Specialization in Computing pairs programming (PIC 10ABC or CS 31–32) and discrete structures (Math 61) with upper-division linguistics in computation-related areas. 来源： https://admission.ucla.edu/apply/transfer/deciding-on-major/major-preparation-the-college/requirements-for-linguistics https://linguistics.ucla.edu/undergraduate/prospective-students/
