The internationally prominent UCSC Linguistics Department offers undergraduate programs in Linguistics and Language Studies as well as graduate (MA and PhD) programs in theoretical and experimental linguistics.

Our faculty has research specializations in phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and psycholinguistics. Our work is theoretical as well as experimental (the department has three experimental labs), and many of our faculty specialize in particular languages, including Chamorro (Austronesian), German, Hungarian, Irish, Japanese, Nez Perce, Romanian, Russian, Tzotzil, and Turkish.
