Linguistics is the scientific study of language's intricate systems. This field encompasses phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, and semantics, examining both modern and historical languages from synchronic and diachronic perspectives. The program provides coursework focused on the theoretical foundations of language learning. Learners can specialize in particular languages like French, Spanish, or German. Those pursuing careers in teaching English as a second language or secondary foreign language instruction can explore M.Ed and Ph.D. programs offered by the College of Education's Department of Language and Literacy Education.

Qualification Requirements
An applicant's degree(s) need not be in Linguistics, but coursework or experience relevant to Linguistics is strongly preferred.
Applicants with a bachelor's or master's degree unrelated to linguistics may apply for either an MA or Ph.D., but admission to the Ph.D. program for such applicants demands exemplary qualifications.
Successful applicants for the M.A. and Ph.D. programs typically have undergraduate GPAs well above 3.0.
While there is no official minimum score required for admission, international applicants who wish to be funded by the department must possess a speaking score of 26 (TOEFL) or 7.5 (IELTS).
