The University of Michigan's Department of Linguistics, established in 1963, employs 15 research faculty members and 11 adjunct professors, while supporting over 30 doctoral candidates and more than 100 undergraduate majors. The Ph.D. curriculum offers comprehensive education in linguistics as both a cognitive and social discipline. Candidates develop and evaluate theories about language structure, variation, and usage through observational studies, experiments, and computational approaches. Since its inception six decades ago, the department has granted approximately 300 doctoral degrees in Linguistics. Alongside the standard Ph.D. in Linguistics, students can pursue interdisciplinary dual-degree options (such as Linguistics paired with Anthropology, Psychology, or Romance Languages). Additionally, the university enables students to enhance their linguistics training through various graduate certificate programs, including Cognitive Science and Women's Studies.
