This comprehensive program integrates coursework from anthropology, computer science, English, psychology, and world languages and cultures, delivering a multifaceted exploration of human communication.

Within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, linguistics coursework can fulfill elective credits or group requirements, and may contribute to either a minor or major program. Students completing the linguistics major graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
