This program is designed for students who are concentrating on the scientific study of language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, etc.). When selecting electives, students may choose to focus on theoretical or applied linguistics (Course List 1 or 2). Students should speak with the Departmental Counsellor for Linguistics to determine which electives are most appropriate for their academic and professional objectives. Students wishing to enter this program must complete an application for admission to Level II on MUGSI in mid-March to be considered for admission.
