Psychology Ph.D.--Language Acquisition & Bilingualism

In addition to the M.A. in Linguistics, the faculties of The Department of Psychology and the Department of Languages & Linguistics jointly offer the Ph.D. in Psychology with a concentration in Language Acquisition & Bilingualism. The following selected linguistics graduate courses form the core of the course work for this concentration:
- LING 5301 Principles of Linguistic Analysis
- LING 5309 Generative Syntax
- LING 5320 Phonology
- LING 5370 First Language Acquisition
- and either LING 5388 Bilingualism or LING 5348 Second Language Acquisition
- plus six additional semester hours of approved Psychology or Linguistics course work
One further note: it is best to begin the program in the fall term, since that is when our core beginning graduate courses are offered.
