Linguistics graduate students must have the equivalent of a real undergraduate course in historical linguistics (not in the history of a language or language family). If you haven't had one, you can take the one offered in UCLA's Linguistics Department (Linguistics 110 - see class schedule for when offered). In quarters when the Ling. 110 instructor is willing, you may also choose to take an independent study that will give you the content of Ling. 110 more efficiently (the first year adviser will try to keep you posted if such an option arises). You may also choose to take a historical linguistics course at the LSA Summer Institute.
