[SLA] Re: [Linganth] query about graduate schools

[Jim Wilce]

(Answer only to sender)
We at Northern Arizona University have an excellent MA in linguistic 
anthropology, for which the application deadline is Feb. 1. The GRE is 
not required. For further information, see 
http://www4.nau.edu/anthro/anthropology/Topic_Pages/Linguistics.htm, as 
well as the main page for the graduate program, 
http://www4.nau.edu/anthro/anthropology/masters_program/masters.htm, and 
the department's main page. From the first page listed (about the MA in 
Linguistic Anthropology), be sure to download the "movie" (about a one 
minute quicktime movie by one of our recent graduates talking about how 
his perspective on anthropology was transformed by his training in 
linguistic anthropology at NAU). Also, see the link to the speaker 
series that will continue for another two years, enriching the graduate 
program, at 
http://www4.nau.edu/anthro/anthropology/anthro_ling/ling_anthro/poster.htm. 
Finally, feel free to visit my web page, which has fairly up to date 
information on my courses and publications— 
http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/%7Ejmw22/.

Ours is a terminal MA program. We have a good track record of helping 
our MA graduates gain admission into the PhD programs of their choice, 
or to immediately begin applied work in such fields as language 
revitalization. Feel free to contact me.
