Undergraduate Program in Linguistics

"The deepest questions about the nature of humanity are those asked by the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Investigating the answers can reveal the secrets of ourselves and the magnitude of human complexity. The University of Arizona was the ideal place to begin my own investigation."

-Lauren Hall-Lew, linguistics alumnus, Class of 2002 

Major or Minor in Linguistics: Our program allows a considerable amount of flexibility and was designed quite deliberately, given the diversity of our field, to provide students with the opportunity to tailor their degree to their own particular linguistic interests. Students who wish to major in linguistics must complete four semesters of language and forty-two units of upper division courses, 15 of which must be in the major itself.

Study of Native American Languages: Research at the University of Arizona Linguistics department covers many Native American languages, including Salishan Languages, Mayan Languages, Tohono O'odham, Navajo, Hiaki (Yaqui), Oneida, Laguna among others.
