Overview
Key Features
The Ph.D. in linguistics is an academic/professional research degree.
Our students also have the opportunity to investigate language in an interdisciplinary context, including language development and human language processing.
Students of the Linguistics program from The University of Arizona are required to complete seven courses from a set of core course requirements, a course in professionalism, a workshop for preparing the written comprehensive examination, and additional courses and seminars in their areas of specialization.
Following completion of the oral comprehensive examinations, students must submit a dissertation prospectus, and complete and defend a dissertation demonstrating their ability to undertake and carry out original research in linguistics. Students are encouraged to apply for and receive an MA degree in Linguistics along the way to the Ph.D.
