<p>Thanks! I like those lists- especially the link w/ lists for fields other than linguistics. Miami has a pretty small program, so I'm not as sure about them. They're just a good school (and I think my parents like them.)</p>

<p>But does anyone know about the strength of Tulane's linguistics department? I'm looking into TU because they give really good scholarships and I'm very interested. I'm also interested in Texas Plan II, Rice, Stanford, Dartmouth, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Does anyone know which of these schools would have the best linguistics department? I know some schools like Vandy don't offer it as a separate major but as a part of anthro, but do they have good programs?</p>

<p>I am planning to study my phd on Linguistics in US.
My interest infact lies in the field of neurolinguistics but as I am planning to study in US and because I am a MA student on linguistics in Iran I wanted to know working on what field of linguistics can increase my chance of getting a scholarship from a top American univ.
Thanks guys</p>

<p>This may sound like a very stupid question, but Iām really new to this, so forgive my ignorance.</p>
<p>Is it possible to earn a BA in English, and then go on to get a PhD in Linguistics?</p>

<p>^ It is possible. But you would be better off minoring in Linguistics or at least taking some intro courses to familiarize yourself with the field. If not, then getting a Masters in Linguistics first would probably be the best course.</p>

<p>Thank you for your answer. I ask because Iām currently taking a linguistics course that sparked my interest in the field, but am considering transferring out of my current school for various reasons, and am wondering if that path would still be available if I end up somewhere that does not offer a linguistics major. </p>
<p>Again, thank you.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Does anyone know how good the linguistics program is at Pomona College? I had heard it was excellent, but so far I havenĀ“t seen anyone comment on itā¦</p>

<p>Can anyone comment on Georgetown vs. Cornell for linguistics? I also want to take into account other programs that would complement linguistics, such as computer science, cognitive science, etc.</p>

<p>Both are amazing, but between the two I would opt for Georgetown.</p>

<p>I am looking into schools on the east coast that offer masters programs. I will be specializing in applied linguistics. Since my undergraduate degree is in TESOL, I would prefer my MA to be a bit broader. I really like Georgetownās MLC program, as well as University of Delaware. I have also looked briefly into UMASS Boston and UNC.<br>
While I have a high GPA from my undergrad studies, and a fair GRE score, I am unsure of how competitive my candidacy will be. For Georgetown specifically, I donāt have a great writing sample that qualifies. Does anybody have any experience with how competitive their program is? Or any of the other programs I am looking at? Other programs I should be considering? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p>

<p>I should add that most of the schools I have looked into that have really good reputations do not offer terminal masters programs. At this point I am not interested in Ph.D. work, and frankly, do not have the linguistics background to qualify for one.</p>
