IMPORTANT NOTICE: Linguistics is moving to the School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
The Linguistics BA and MS are not accepting new admissions at this time, but we are still offering classes, and we are still offering the BA Certificate in Language and Law.
Other new program offerings will emerge soon in our new School — stay tuned for details!

I have my own vocabulary. I love linguistics. That surprises people. --Matthew McConaughey The job of the linguist, like that of the biologist or the botanist, is not to tell us how nature should behave, or what its creations should look like, but to describe those creations in all their messy glory and try to figure out what they can teach us about life, the world, and, especially in the case of linguistics, the workings of the human mind. --Arika Okrent
