    I need 3 credits of English linguistics, including the topics of phonology, morphology, and syntax of English. The cheaper, the better, but it must be at a regionally accredited school. Undergraduate or graduate-level are both fine. Any suggestions?

    MA in Interdisciplinary Studies - Western New Mexico University
    Virtual Campus - Online Programs

    They have linguistics courses geared towards TESL teachers.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    MA in Applied Linguistics - University of Massachusetts
    MA Applied Linguistics - UMassOnline.net

    Expensive, but it should have what you are looking for if you want graduate courses. You can take up to 6 credits without formally enrolling in the program.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BS in Communicative Disorders & Deaf Education - Utah State University
    Communicative Disorders - Online Learning - Regional Campuses & Distance Education - distance.usu.edu

    Some of the courses are actually linguistics courses. However, they are listed as COMD and not LING, and may not be considered English linguistics courses.

    BS in Communicative Disorders - Eastern New Mexico University

    Same deal as above, but last I checked it was less expensive. Their fees will be changing soon however, so it would be a good idea to check out current tuition rates before taking courses.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Bachelor of Arts in Applied Linguistics
    Ashford University Online – Bachelor of Arts in Applied Linguistics

    Should have what you are looking for, but somewhat expensive for undergraduate courses.

    Most of those courses don't exist anymore. They shut down that program, which was independent study, just about a year ago due to lack of interest. My memory tingles tell me that they were still offering one of those courses. However, that is not the page to learn about it since it hasn't been updated in years and is not linked to in any page on the current website.

    Bummer. I want to know who is not interested in Linguistics!!! LOL

    I just checked the Summer and Fall 2011 USU course schedule and it looks like Prof. McLaughlin is still teaching ENG 4200 - Linguistic Structure and ENG 4210 - History of the English Language (note - both of these courses appear under English, not Linguistics).
