<p>Linguistics sounds like something I would be extremely interested in. I'm considering majoring in it, and perhaps studying foreign language to complement it.</p>
<p>What are the best schools for linguistics for undergrad studies? Are any of the following well known for this major?</p>
<p>Columbia
Tufts
U of Chicago
Johns Hopkins
NYU
Yale</p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
<p>The</a> rise and fall of linguistics at Columbia</p>
<p>Languages</a> at Columbia</p>
<p>Chicago has a very good linguistics program. Research is done in most major language families, but the university particularly excels in Near</a> Eastern linguistics.</p>
<p>Although Tufts has a very well-known linguist on staff (Ray Jackendoff), it lacks a formal program in linguistics.</p>
<p>JHU offers a minor but no major in linguistics.</p>
<p>You might try looking into Brown, Georgetown, Penn, USC, and/or Boston U. UCLA if you're in-state.</p>
<p>Thanks! I didn't realize Columiba didn't have a linguistics department. </p>
<p>I've heard that some schools were good for graduate studies in linguistics... can I assume that most of these schools would also be suitable for undergrad?</p>
