Applied Linguistics is the study of languages, exploring how languages work and evolve, and how we can use this insight for real-world applications. From day one, apply your learning to explore, challenge, understand, and find solutions.

Undergraduate

We apply linguistic knowledge and theory to solve real-world problems. You will build an interdisciplinary foundation from leading research in language, linguistics, communication, psychology, and culture. Then you will apply your learning to explore, challenge, understand, and address problems and find meaningful solutions.
