The Department offers a doctoral emphasis in Iberian Linguistics, focusing on topics in Spanish, Portuguese, their varieties and topics in Spain’s regional languages, it collaborates with linguists from UCSB's Linguistics Department (www.linguistics.ucsb.edu), and participates in a cross-departmental Ph.D. Emphasis in Applied Linguistics (http://www.appliedlinguistics.ucsb.edu). Graduate students also participate in the Cognitive Science emphasis (http://www.cogsci.ucsb.edu) and related activities. We seek candidates who can contribute both to our undergraduate and graduate curricula.
