Bachelor of Arts in English - Linguistics

Colorado State University

The Linguistics concentration lets you explore the science behind human language, with a special focus on English and how it's used in the real world. You’ll dive into big questions about how people acquire language, how meaning is created, and how language reflects identity, culture, and society. Along the way, you’ll learn how to analyze language using tools from across the humanities, social sciences, and even natural sciences. This concentration is a great fit for students interested in language learning and teaching (especially English as an additional language), as well as those drawn to writing, literature, education, or communication. Whether you’re planning to go on to grad school or looking for a career where strong analytical skills and clear communication matter, studying linguistics will give you the tools to understand and work with language in powerful ways.
