<p>Are there any LACs out there known for good linguistics programs? Even if I don't major in linguistics, it's something I'm greatly interested in.</p>
<p>I know Swarthmore and Reed have linguistics, but I don't know where else.</p>
<p>And besides these, does anyone know of any small universities with good programs? I like the looks of what U Chicago has, but I'm afraid I might not like Hyde Park, and I've heard some negative things about UC's quality of life.</p>
<p>Check out Middlebury and Kenyon.</p>
<p>colgate
and Colgate has the reputation for only giving need based aid- however if they want you- I have seen them determine that students have need- when at other colleges they wouldn't.</p>
<p>There are some interesting lingustics opportunities at two of the Claremont Colleges: Pomona and Pitzer. Macalester has a good program as well.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, this isn't an LAC but UCSC has a great Linguistics program (one of the best in the country) and is a lot smaller than the other UC's. It's also much more focused on undergrads. Santa Cruz is beautiful too.</p>
<p>Brandeis is another small university with a good linguistics program.</p>
<p>Colgate doesn't have linguistics...</p>
<p>Grinnell has a small program, I think.</p>
