I am collecting information for undergrad students at my institution who
are interested in developing an interdisciplinary course of study in
linguistics (combining, e.g., courses in English, German, Speech Pathology
& Audiology, and Computer Science), because we do not yet offer a
linguistics major.

What linguistics departments or programs are offering distance learning
courses, beyond the intro course, that would be appropriate for an
undergrad major (e.g., a course in phonology, or syntax, or morphology, or
semantics) and of adequate rigor?

I am aware of the Virtual Linguistics Campus (Marburg), but have not heard
any reviews of it.

Thank you!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
