Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Linguistics and German] From University of Massachusetts

A Linguistics major can focus purely on linguistics theory, or combine Linguistics with another field or language. There are several interdisciplinary majors in which the study of Linguistics forms a significant part of the curriculum. It is also possible to major in linguistics alone or to minor in Linguistics. If you are interested in discussing majoring or minoring in Linguistics, or have questions about any undergraduate Linguistics courses, please make an appointment with the Undergraduate Advisor, or stop by during office hours.
