The PhD in Linguistics trains students in core theoretical areas (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics) as well as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and child language acquisition. Applicants do not need an MA first, and an MA can be earned along the way.
Faculty: College of Arts and Letters | Department: Linguistics, Languages, and Cultures (Linguistics) | Study mode: full-time | Location: East Lansing, MI, United States
The programme treats language as a science rather than applied language teaching or policy. Research groups and labs cover language acquisition, phonetics and laboratory phonology, sociolinguistics and semantics-pragmatics, with an optional cognitive science specialization.
Graduates hold positions in linguistics and language-teaching departments worldwide, and increasingly work in technology, educational administration and data science.
A bachelor's or master's degree in linguistics or a related field; an existing MA is not required. GRE not required. Three recommenders, an academic statement of 700-1000 words, CV, transcripts and application fee. Fall deadline Dec 1. English proficiency: TOEFL 100 minimum for regular admission (IELTS 7.5 cited); waiver sometimes possible. A funding package is offered to a small number of applicants each year.
Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
