Master's for Stanford Graduate Students

We offer an M.A. degree for Stanford graduate students which develops students' knowledge of linguistics, preparing them for a professional career or doctoral study in linguistics or related disciplines.  

This is achieved through completion of courses, including coursework in an area of specialization within the field, and experience with independent research in Linguistics.

For a complete list of program requirements, please see the Stanford Bulletin.

Only current Stanford graduate students are eligible for this program.
