Description:

Linguists ask questions such as: What are the universal properties of language? Why are certain words controversial? How do you learn a second language?



Linguistics is the scientific study of language as a universal human phenomenon. This program will give you the opportunity to analyze the structure of various languages and apply this knowledge in a variety of sub-fields and languages. During the course of your studies, you'll gain creative thinking skills, research and analytical capabilities, written and verbal communication skills, and competence in a second language (other than English).
