The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Linguistics degree at Wayne State University is an interdisciplinary program with a strong emphasis on theoretical linguistics. This approach allows students to explore a wide range of topics through research, preparing them for graduate study and any profession involving the analysis of speech or writing. Linguistics is the scientific study of language and its use. Considered an applied science, the field of linguistics encompasses many branches that examine languages structure, evolution and use in communication. Linguistics majors often enter the path of academia, research or speech therapy. However, the most common career for graduates is to become a linguist. These professionals explore the intricacies of languages, consistently working to analyze or preserve them.

Qualification Requirements
International applicants must complete the equivalent of a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree, including all state and external/internal examinations required for the degree. Some three-year general degrees (from Canada, India, Pakistan, France, Lebanon, etc.) may not be equivalent to a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree. However, if you have completed an honors degree, additional undergraduate coursework beyond the three-year bachelor's degree, or a graduate degree, you may be considered for admission. As an international student, you are required to meet the university's English proficiency requirements for Undergraduate Admissions. Minimum scores of 79-80 TOEFL iBT and IELTS 6.5 are required for admission to Wayne State. If your native language is not English but you have been instructed in the English language, you are not necessarily exempt from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the Test of Written English (TWE) and the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) requirements.
