Linguistics

University of Washington

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. Students use scientific principles–collecting data, making observations, and developing and testing hypotheses–to research the structure, acquisition, and use of language. They apply this rigorous approach to all different levels of linguistic structure, with the opportunity to join faculty on research projects. Students expand their knowledge through the study of two languages from different language families, and they further draw on disciplines including psychology, anthropology, sociology, information and computer science, and more. With advanced analytical skills and a deep understanding of language, an intrinsic human characteristic, graduates pursue careers in a variety of professional areas such as technology, policy, nonprofit, government, publishing and education.
