Graduate Certificate in Linguistics offered by the University of Texas at San Antonio
The Graduate Certificate in Linguistics is a twelve-credit hour concentration that offers coursework in advanced, language-based, interdisciplinary studies, encompassing theoretical, applied, and pedagogical aspects of linguistics. The key purpose of the certificate is to broaden students’ linguistic knowledge from an interdisciplinary perspective, enabling them to explore language as a significant tool for understanding cultures in an increasingly globalized world. Students will learn to draw connections between language, culture, and society as they hone their ability to conduct advanced research and become more active critical thinkers and writers. This certificate will be particularly valuable for M.A. and Ph.D. students in the Humanities and Social Sciences seeking to enhance employment credentials as college and university instructors or language professionals in corporate, non-profit, and educational settings. In addition, this certificate may be helpful to those interested in working as editors, translators, interpreters, foreign language and English teachers at all grade levels and in colleges, in counseling and tutoring assignments in writing centers in community colleges, and as bilingual education specialists.
