Linguistics Majors and Minors

Simply stated, Linguistics is the study of human language. Linguists conduct formal studies across the world’s 6000+ languages to gain insight to one of the most fundamental aspects of being human, our ability to communicate through language. Our students study speech, sounds, words, sentences, and meaning with a focus on the English language and explores how language influences our human experiences, identities, and our society.
