PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Majoring in linguistics opens a world of possibilities for your future career. Linguistics, the study of human language, is intrinsically interdisciplinary and gives you educational opportunities across the academic spectrum. In the Carson-Newman linguistics program, you’ll pursue this field of study in both a liberal arts tradition and a Christian context. You’ll be introduced to the various subfields of linguistics, and you’ll also take coursework in communication, education, English, foreign languages, philosophy, psychology and sociology.
Carson-Newman’s linguistics program is small by design. You’ll work closely with peers and professors to develop theoretical and practical knowledge, preparing you for graduate school and professional life.
