The Linguistics Program at the University of South Carolina is an interdepartmental program with connections to the following departments: Anthropology ; Communication Sciences and Disorders ; Computer Science and Engineering ; English Language and Literature ; Languages, Literatures, and Cultures ; Philosophy ; and Psychology . The program's core faculty teach most of the courses offered and direct graduate students in the program. In addition to these core faculty, the program has the support of consulting faculty members, whose areas of expertise are in or related to linguistics, and who frequently serve on thesis committees or as the outside member on doctoral committees. It also has strong ties to the English Programs for Internationals , in the Byrnes International Center. The program administers three graduate degrees: a Graduate Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, an M.A. in Linguistics, and a Ph.D. in Linguistics. At the undergraduate level, students may take a cognate or a minor in Linguistics, or pursue a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies with Linguistics as a major concentration.
