MA in Linguistics in Minneapolis United States | University of Minnesota Twin Cities

The MA in linguistics caters to two distinct groups: students aiming to enhance their academic foundation for future PhD studies in linguistics, and those seeking careers outside the field who benefit from the advanced training and credentials provided by the degree. While many of our MA graduates progress to PhD programs, either here or at other institutions, our program differs from typical linguistics MA programs by being structured as a complete academic path rather than merely a preparatory phase for doctoral studies. For aspiring academics, this MA is particularly suitable for individuals with limited prior linguistics coursework or for those concurrently pursuing a PhD in another discipline at the University of Minnesota.
