M.A. in Linguistics M.A. Linguistics Program ObjectiveThe objective of the M.A. Program is to provide students with a solid foundation in linguistic analysis. To this end, the centerpiece of the M.A. program is the M.A. LING Core, which will expose every student to the fundamental concepts of our field. Beyond the Core, students should select courses that fit their particular interests and career goals. If you're interested in enrolling in this program, consult our Prospective Students page.

Elective Courses: Students must round out their knowledge of language by choosing eight additional classes (24 credits). Up to 6 hours of these elective courses are allowed from another department with approval of the Graduate Advisor. The remaining hours must be taken from the Department of Linguistics & TESOL. Students with no prior study in linguistics (as indicated by an official transcript) will be encouraged to complete the following three leveling courses before enrolling in more advanced courses:
These leveling classes will be counted towards the 24 credit elective-course requirement. M.A. Comprehensive ExaminationThe M.A. Comprehensive Examination should be taken during the final long semester of study; exceptions to this policy must be approved by the MA Linguistics advisor. The Comprehensive Examination is given twice each year, in the fall semester (early November) and the spring semester (early April); a specific exam date will be announced at the beginning of each semester.
