The courses available include 'Introduction to Linguistics' (LING 101), 'Phonetics' (LING 205), and 'Child Language Acquisition/Language Development in Children and Adolescents' (LING 319/CSD 311). These courses are delivered asynchronously, allowing students to engage with the material at their own pace. The program is structured to accommodate various schedules, with offerings in Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters.
