The Ph.D. in linguistics is an academic/professional research degree. Our program is designed to produce scholars who can carry out research at the intersection of anthropology and linguistic in any of their aspects within a contemporary theoretical framework, and which challenges, modifies, and extends contemporary theory and practice. Our students also have the opportunity to investigate the intersection of anthropology and language in an interdisciplinary context. Following completion of written and oral comprehensive examinations within both the anthropology and linguistics department, students must submit a dissertation prospectus, and complete and defend a dissertation demonstrating their ability to undertake and carry out original research.
