• Work in linguistics also draws on research in other disciplines, including psychology, anthropology, computer science, literature, neuroscience, education and others.
  • Many graduates find careers that provide practical outlets for their linguistic training, such as computer science, teaching English as a second language, foreign language teaching, lexicography or bilingual-bicultural education and curriculum development.
  • Students will begin with an introductory course in linguistics and coursework in the foreign language of their choice. At the upper-division level, they will study advanced grammar, linguistic analysis, syntax and other technical topics; they will also, depending on their personal focus, take courses in other disciplines to complement their study. These courses include offerings such as anthropological linguistics, linguistic analysis of specific languages and the philosophy of language.
