MA in Linguistics

The MA in Linguistics provides students with a stronger background in linguistics to help them find more fulfilling jobs in industries employing language specialists, or in teaching positions where a strong linguistic background is an asset but a PhD is not required. Additionally, because linguistics is not necessarily available as an undergraduate degree in many colleges and universities, the MA program serves students who are interested in the discipline but would like to improve their background in the field before applying to PhD programs.

There are three MA degrees to chose from:

• Focus in Germanic Linguistics
• Concentration in East Asian Languages and Linguistics
• General MA in Linguistics
