THE PROGRAM

The M.A./Ph.D. Program in Linguistics prepares students for career and leadership opportunities in academia, research, private industry, and public service. We offer coursework, laboratory experience, and research supervision in theoretical, computational, experimental, descriptive, and applied linguistics. Students may choose to enter our program intending to specialize in a wide range of subdisciplines, including: Bilingualism, Computational Linguistics, Endangered/Minority Language Documentation and Description, Historical Linguistics, Language Acquisition (child and adult), Morphology, Neurolinguistics, Phonetics, Phonology, Semantics, Sociolinguistics, and Syntax.

Students engage in research projects that interest them with guidance from chosen faculty advisers who are recognized experts in their fields. In addition to University Fellowships, research assistantships and grants are available from time to time. Adjunct teaching positions in linguistics may be available to qualified students at the various CUNY campuses. Please see the program website for additional information.

En-route M.A.

Upon completing 45 credits with an average grade of B, passing the First Examination, one language examination, and satisfactorily completing a major research paper, a doctoral student may apply for an en-route M.A. degree. Those seeking an en-route master’s degree should have the Executive Officer initiate the appropriate action.
