Other MA/PhD Courses
Every MA/PhD student is required to register for Linguistics Colloquium (8680) for one year during his/her studies; for MA students, this should usually be their 2nd year. Students registered to this course must attend the colloquium lectures on Tuesday 14:00-15:30 regularly throughout the year; all other MA/PhD students (as well as interested BA students) are also encouraged to attend the colloquium, which provides you with a unique opportunity to hear about a variety of active research topics presented by guests from Israel and from abroad. The colloquium program is published during the semester.
Two courses, 922 and 987, are required for all new students in the Linguistics in Clinical Research (LCR) program. New students in the Linguistics (not LCR) program whose BA is not in linguistics are also usually required to take these courses, along with the 9001 and 5910 courses.
