Linguistics Concentration at Salisbury University

About the Linguistics Concentration Program

How can a major in linguistics prepare you for a successful career? With linguistics, you can do just about anything. Issues important to the English language are universal and may be applied to other fields, such as forensics and medical discourse.

That’s the strength of Salisbury University’s linguistics concentration. Our students don’t just learn about language. They learn how to communicate with people of diverse cultural backgrounds. They develop writing, listening and interpersonal skills that are vital for career success. The interdisciplinary approach of SU’s program ensures you can take the skills you learn here anywhere.

SU’s English Department prepares students not only for the workplace of today, but the workplace of tomorrow, graduate school and lifelong learning. We cultivate visionary thinkers with a wide range of courses – from analyzing Medieval literature to the strategies of digital media.
