The purpose of this program is to provide the interested student with a solid background for: 1) graduate studies in linguistics, applied linguistics, educational linguistics, linguistic anthropology, or sociolinguistics, or, (2) work in any field that requires in-depth understanding about linguistic processes, including language teaching, speech-language pathology and audiology, publishing, translation, interpretation, language policy and planning, language documentation and revitalization, and computer sciences.
