| The Department of Linguistics at Simon Fraser University offers graduate work leading to MA and PhD degrees. Graduate students take courses, have opportunities to work as a teaching assistants and/or research assistants, and engage in research activities that will lead to the completion of a thesis or dissertation. Research in linguistics at SFU is characterized by interdisciplinarity, breadth in research methodology, and diversity in theoretical perspective. All of our faculty have a specialization in one or more core areas, and serious research interests in other areas that support and enhance their main interests. Graduate students work closely with faculty on research projects, and often collaborate on joint publications. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
For admission to the MA program, students must be able to demonstrate an adequate background in linguistics. Students having little or no academic preparation in linguistics will not be admitted to the program. In most cases, we require applicants to have completed significant course work covering core areas in linguistics. These requirements include an introductory course in linguistics, courses in phonetics, phonology, syntax, morphology and semantics.
