The MA program offers students the chance to pursue advanced linguistics studies without the extended commitment needed for a PhD. Admission is highly selective, with each cohort typically including just 2-3 students chosen from both domestic and international applicants. The MA LIN curriculum emphasizes theoretical linguistics over applied approaches, so those seeking applied linguistics training at the master's level may want to explore the MA TESOL program as an alternative.
