Applied linguistics is a multidisciplinary area that combines various viewpoints on human language research. Rather than focusing on mastering multiple languages, linguistics examines the fundamental characteristics of language itself. This field investigates language and communication to address practical challenges like learning and instruction, evaluation, comprehensive or detailed linguistic examination, enhancing cross-cultural interactions, and exploring how language connects with societal structures and actions.
Those pursuing an Applied Linguistics degree can simultaneously obtain a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification, as the program's mandatory courses align with the certificate's prerequisites. Additionally, Applied Linguistics scholars enjoy numerous international study options, with departmental initiatives available in Mexico, Argentina, and through a Turkish exchange program.
