Doctor's degree Linguistics - Gallaudet University

Doctor's degree Linguistics from Gallaudet University is a Campus Ph.D Linguistics degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Gallaudet's Ph.D. program in linguistics , with a focus on sign language, opened its doors in the fall semester of 2002. Students may specialize in a range of theoretical and applied areas related to sign language, including but not limited to phonology, syntax, morphology, cognitive linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language assessment, first language acquisition, and second language acquisition. Successful students will receive an M.A. degree after two years of coursework, advance to candidacy to the Ph.D. after another three semesters of courses, and receive the Ph.D. after completion of a dissertation. Required courses may be waived on a case-by-case basis for students with previous work in linguistics . All courses taught by linguistics faculty are conducted in ASL. Since the first two years of required coursework are the same for both the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, students are encouraged to enter the program at the beginning M.A. level. Students who already have an M.A. in linguistics can apply directly for admission into the Ph.D. program, but will be required to take first and second year courses that were not included in the previous degree work. For those who have received an M.A. in language teaching from Gallaudet's American Sign Language and Deaf Studies Department, the entire second year of language teaching coursework will be applied toward the doctoral program, reducing required coursework from five to three semesters. Students who earned the M.A. from Gallaudet's linguistics program more than ten years before the date of application may be required to retake the comprehensive examination and earn a score of "high pass" prior to admission.
