LINGUISTICS
Language is an essential part of our life. Nothing characterizes humanity more than the ability to use language. Linguists analyze sounds, words, sentences, and texts. Linguists also make valuable contributions to practical fields such as second and foreign language teaching, language planning, translation, computer science, forensic linguistics, and the study of language disorders.
Our majors can be applied directly to various professional fields. They also serve as excellent preparation for pursuing advanced degrees in linguistics and other fields such as English, anthropology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, cognitive science, computer science, and foreign languages. Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) is an important part of our program and especially compatible with degrees in education and liberal studies. A Japanese minor can be profitably combined with majors in such areas as business, international relations, linguistics, and literature.
