Ohio State University’s Master of Arts in Linguistics delivers an interdisciplinary exploration of language, grounded in scientific methodology and humanistic inquiry. The program offers strengths in syntax, phonetics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics. Students engage in fieldwork, quantitative analysis, and theoretical modeling, supported by specialized labs and research centers. Whether focusing on endangered language documentation, neural mechanisms of language processing, or the effects of social media on dialect variation, the MA equips students with tools for careers in academia, tech, education, and policy.
