CSUDH offers a Language and Linguistics B.A., a minor in Language and Linguistics and a Teaching English as a Second Language M.A.
The Language and Linguistic option (36 units) provides insights about how human languages work. We cover topics such as the structure of the world’s languages, the production and perception of sounds, the formation of words and sentences, the creation and understanding of meaning, how people use two languages, how languages change over time, and the connection between language-identity-society, just to name a few topics. Our program provides the tools to investigate human language and to reflect upon its function within society and educational systems. Linguistics degrees provide students with general organizational and analytical skills and help to train them in analyzing data. These skills provide a useful foundation for many careers and graduate school. For more information about this option, go to our website: https://www.csudh.edu/english/undergraduate-programs/
