About This Program

The Certificate in Spanish Linguistics provides foundational academic preparation in Spanish for language professionals. The certificate program includes courses in the core areas of Spanish language and linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax), as well as elective options that allow students to tailor their program of study to meet their interests and academic and professional goals.
