Overview

Bachelor of Arts - Linguistics

This Major is not offered currently.

Linguistics courses offer insights into the brain, mind and language relationship. By studying linguistics, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to understand foreign languages and the difficulties foreign students encounter in English and French. 

Linguistic courses complement education, English, Languages, Psychology, Philosophy, Social Science, and computer science programs. 

Linguistics is required for Speech Therapy, TESL, and other language processing and language engineering programs.

What you'll learn

This program provides students with a solid knowledge of basic concepts that form the foundation of linguistic theories, including:

  • Mental processes involved in the acquisition of the first and second languages.

The program offers introductory and intermediary-level courses in these topics. You'll gain enough theoretical and applied knowledge to assess linguistics problems in daily life.
