General InformationThe Department of Linguistics at the University of New Mexico offers
the degrees of B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Linguistics, with concentration
in Native American languages. The Department offers courses in all aspects
of linguistics with a particular emphasis on languages of the Southwest. Courses in Native American Linguistics at UNMThe department offers a range of general linguistics courses and courses in applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics. Some emphasis in these courses is placed upon the role of language in culture and society, particularly in the Southwest, and upon the educational applications of the language sciences. Courses of particular interest to students of Native American languages include:
The Navajo ProgramCourses in the Navajo Program in the Department of Linguistics at UNM include Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced Navajo language, Basic Medical Navajo, Written Navajo, Creative Writing and Advanced Reading, and Navajo Linguistics. Some of these courses are not offered on a regular basis, however, and students are advised to contact the Department for information on availability. NCC StudentsThe Department of Linguistics at the University of New Mexico is particularly pleased to welcome students from Navajo Community College (NCC). The Department recognizes the important contribution that Navajo language study at NCC can provide to the program as a whole at UNM. Credit for coursework at NCC will transfer automatically for the equivalent courses at UNM and can be applied towards the degree at UNM. Information on equivalence between UNM courses and those at NCC can be obtained from the Department. Other Indigenous Languages of the SouthwestThe Department of Linguistics hopes to develop, subject to student and/or community interest, language and literacy courses specific to the other indigenous languages of the Southwest, including Apache, Keresan, and the Tanoan Pueblo languages.
