The department graduated its first PhDs in 1991. More than sixty-seven students have earned doctoral degrees since then. The majority of alumni went on to full time employment in linguistics — most in an academic setting, some in industry. Among those who hold academic positions, at least twenty are tenured, several are or have been department chairs, and two have won NSF Young Investigator Awards.
The department is proud of its job placement record. PhD alumni of the department hold tenured or tenure-track positions at Stanford, Yale, the University of Chicago, USC, Georgetown University, NYU, UC Berkeley, and Johns Hopkins University, among other places.
The graduates of our MA program pursue a wide variety of career options. While some have entered other doctoral programs, either in linguistics (theoretical and applied) or in related fields (computer science, library and information sciences), others have found employment in teaching, journalism, government, or in the information technology sector.
