MA/PhD Program

Grad student Farrah Neumann

The MA/PhD program is a combined program designed for students entering with a BA with the intention of earning a PhD. If you are applying for an MA/PhD, select the PhD option in the application system. The program consists of core course work, requirements for specific Areas of Concentration (ARCOs), preliminary exams, comprehensive exams, and dissertation work. The ARCOs available are:

  • Applied Linguistics
  • Hispanic Linguistics
  • Sociolinguistics

If none of the above ARCOs is chosen, then the student will be enrolled in the General and Descriptive Linguistics Program.
