UVA’s BA in Linguistics is the scientific study of human language, offering students the opportunity to analyze language structure (phonetics, phonology, syntax), meaning, acquisition, and use. Students explore how languages vary, change over time, and interact with society and the mind. The interdisciplinary program draws from anthropology, psychology, computer science, and philosophy. Ideal for those interested in AI, speech therapy, translation, education, or computational linguistics, it prepares students for careers or graduate study in a range of language-related fields.
