Gordon College

Program Overview

Gordon is one of just a few Christian liberal arts colleges to offer a linguistics major. Here, you will dig deep into the scientific study of language---but you will also have the opportunity to think alongside your peers and professors about the implications of the reality that God's revelation has been transmitted to us through human language and culture. Given our location in Greater Boston, you can attend events and lectures at larger universities, while experiencing the benefits of studying at a smaller liberal arts college.How do humans learn to speak How does language influence the way we think and interact with one another Why are there so many languages in the world, and how are these different languages structured These are some of the questions that you will explore as a linguistics major. You will discover the amazing human creativity that is involved in language---a creativity that manifests itself in things such as poetry, literature and our ability to communicate.
