What to Expect
Cognitive linguistics focuses on the intersection of language and cognition. This field of study makes it possible to evaluate very disparate topics such as how joint attention is involved in reading novels, which metaphors are most effective in getting people to change their minds, or how teaching can be improved through the use of gestures.
Our degree program requires 30 credit hours and a written thesis. You will receive guidance and supervision from our faculty to ensure your success throughout your thesis process. Most complete the program within four semesters, although periods of study longer or shorter can be arranged, and part-time enrollment is possible. The required courses include a two-semester theory sequence, a concurrent two-semester workshop sequence, electives, and 12 credit hours of thesis work.
