Grad programs and post-bac opportunities

Hi all,

Tis the season for applying to graduate school, and for those of you who are either thinking about it or are doing it, I thought I’d share some announcements from relevant programs that are seeking students. These are by no means a comprehensive list (just some that have specifically advertised on listservs to which I am subscribed), but they will give you a flavor for a few different programs.

For those of you who have graduated and are looking for post-bac research or lab manager jobs, I’ve heard about a few of those as well and am attaching them here. More will likely be forthcoming in the new year, so stay tuned.

Hope you find these useful, and hope you are having a great semester so far!

Pass/No Credit

Due to the various forms of difficulty added by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, for Fall 2020 the department is suspending our usual P/NC policy. As was the case in Spring 2020, courses that are taken in a Pass/No Credit grading scheme can in fact count for credit towards either major (Linguistics/Cognitive Science). Apart from this, the grading scheme for Fall 2020 is back to normal (i.e. the exceptional grading scheme of Spring 2020 that eliminated letter grades is no longer in effect). 

As always, feel free to contact Elizabeth (elizabeth.contreras@pomona.edu) or the department chair Michael Diercks (michael.diercks@pomona.edu) if you have any questions.
