The Department of Linguistics offers students a rigorous and wide-ranging exploration of human language, combining analytical precision with insight into how language shapes thought, culture, and interaction.
Serving both undergraduate and graduate students, the program emphasizes core areas of linguistic theory while providing a strong foundation in the scientific study of language structure, sound systems, and meaning. Students develop skills in formal analysis, critical thinking, and empirical research that prepare them for advanced study and a variety of professional paths.
Hands-on research is central to the linguistics experience, supported by phonetics and phonology laboratories that allow students to investigate language through experimental and data-driven methods. Under close faculty mentorship, students engage with cutting-edge theoretical questions while gaining practical experience with linguistic tools and technologies. Whether pursuing foundational coursework or advanced research, students are encouraged to analyze linguistic patterns deeply and contribute to a growing understanding of human language.
