The list below only includes upcoming linguistics electives which are offered in OTHER departments. For more information, see "The Elective Requirement" on the Linguistics Major page.

If you do not see a course listed here and believe it might count as a Linguistics Elective, please email the Linguistics Adviser at lingadv@uw.edu.
Classes numbered 500 or higher are intended for graduate students, but some instructors for 500-level classes allow undergraduates who have the appropriate preparation to enroll in them. You should check with the instructor before registering for any graduate class.
