community of experts from around the world who study language across
several departments, and are active participants in the university’s

major that provides students an understanding of the modern discipline
of Linguistics. Our graduate students often go on to become assistant
professors, postdocs, or to work in industry.

The Department of Linguistics is housed within the School of Arts &
Sciences, which is comprised of 28 academic departments, the College

discovery among all our students and faculty. University, School, and

teaching and mentoring, and to a scholarly community shaped by values
of inclusive excellence. The School of Arts and Sciences at the
