M.A. in LLCL: Linguistics
The M.A. concentration in Linguistics combines theoretical and applied linguistics, providing students with a well-balanced grounding of theory and practice. The program prepares students for a broad range of opportunities in language education and research, and our alumni have found employment in public and private schools, colleges, and institutes, here in South Florida and overseas.
The Linguistics concentration can be combined with a Graduate Certificate in ESL Studies for those who wish to teach English to adult non-native speakers in intensive English institutes, community colleges, private schools, and in international contexts.
