Ma linguistics in University of california santa cruz

The graduate program in Linguistics at UCSC is relatively small, very focused, and very intense. It concentrates on a few core sub-disciplines of theoretical and experimental linguistics: morphology, phonetics, phonology, psycholinguistics, semantics, and syntax. The goal of the PhD program is to bring students first to the point where they can pursue research in at least two of these areas, and subsequently to the point where they can make substantial and original contributions to an area of specialization. In part because everyone becomes knowledgeable in more than one area, and in part because of the lively research environment, borders are fluid, and a great deal of research takes place at the interfaces.
