Linguistics is the systematic examination of human language. Scholars in this field explore a wide array of language-related subjects, such as: grammatical structures, phonological systems, and the evolution of specific languages, along with universal principles governing all languages, the societal impact of language across communities and personal communications, language acquisition in children and adults, cognitive processing of language, and practical applications in education, technology, and other domains.
The interdisciplinary nature of linguistics makes it ideal for combined studies, allowing students to pursue dual majors or complementary minors with departments like modern languages, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, or Anthropology. Students are advised to consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies to align their coursework with professional aspirations.
The linguistics curriculum mandates completion of Introduction to Language (LING-1000), four foundational Tier II courses (LING-2010, 2020, 2030, 2050) covering core theories and methodologies, plus two advanced Tier III courses (selected from approved options) to cultivate specialized knowledge and research skills. Additional electives can be chosen from departmental offerings, with guidance from academic advisors.
