Good universities for linguistics?

The best department in linguistics is MIT, namely because of its association with Chomsky. I should note that at MIT the linguistics and philosophy department have merged into a single department. After MIT, i’d say it’s difficult to say what the top programs are.</p>

<p>Here are some of the universities where professors at top departments completed their dissertations (I’ll only be including universities that have alumni represented at one or more of these universities:)</p>

<p>at MIT (most faculty don’t list their CV so these are the few i could find):</p>

<p>MIT Department of Linguistics: People: Faculty: Noam Chomsky (MIT)

All 3 of Chomsky’s degrees (BA, MA, PhD) are from Penn, which still has one of the top linguistics departments (as you pointed out :)).</p>
