The Applied Linguistics Certificate (ALC) is designed to prepare undergraduate students from Linguistics and Languages, as well as other disciplines, to work on practical and applied issues that involve language related services and projects. Students who obtain the certificate will be able to contribute to teamwork identifying and solving language challenges related to educational policies, international relations, and novel communication technologies. The Certificate will recognize students for having gained skills in applied language studies and critical reasoning about linguistic issues, the development of policy recommendations, working within multi-disciplinary teams, and engaging with relevant stakeholders.
