Program Description
The Linguistics BA and BS degrees provide a broad foundation in the scientific study of language. Students study the structural properties of languages, including the sounds of languages, their sentence structure, and meaning. They also explore how languages can vary, how they are used in different contexts, and how they are acquired by children and adults. Advanced courses offer deeper examination of these topics, and students have the opportunity to pursue research through their coursework, in independent studies, or by participating in research groups in the Linguistics Department.
