LING-PHD - Linguistics (PhD)

Through the completion of advanced coursework and strong methodological and analytical training, the PhD program prepares students to make original contributions to knowledge in linguistics, articulate the results of their work, and demonstrate its significance to linguistics and related fields. At every stage in the program, students are encouraged to present and publish their research and to develop active professional profiles. 

This program is full time. Students in the PhD program are expected to maintain a significant physical presence on campus throughout their graduate studies. This ensures that students have access to advisors and mentors, research facilities, libraries, and other resources that support timely progress towards completion of degree requirements. Additionally, being on campus ensures that students are part of the academic and campus community which supports their continued professional development.
