Linguistics, the scientific study of language, is a highly diverse field with many specializations relevant to today’s increasingly globalized educational and business environments. Benedictine’s Master of Arts (M.A.) in Linguistics enables students to develop an in-depth understanding of the nature of human language, and how it is used to communicate for different purposes in a variety of social, cultural and professional contexts.

Students in the Master of Arts in Linguistics program have the opportunities to:

Demonstrate a coherent understanding of key theories and research findings in the discipline of linguistics and explain how they may be applied in the teaching and learning of English as a second or foreign language.

Display a nuanced understanding of the cognitive and social nature of human language, its complexity, and its diversity.
