Department Summary

Given this interest, we are also invested in the practical and interdisciplinary aspects of language and its use; that is, in its normal and disordered acquisition, teaching, maintenance, revitalization, loss, and also in its social impact and interrelation with social structures and institutions.

There are 27 doctoral students, 13 Master's students, and 89 undergraduate majors. The department has a number of labs and $2.4 million in grants.
