About the Department

The mission of the Linguistics Department at Georgetown is to

the legitimacy and relevance of research at every level of analysis.
We house a doctoral program and several master’s programs which are
organized into four concentrations, and we offer a major and a minor
in linguistics. With all our curricular programs, our faculty and
