The Linguistics Program gave me the tools to analyze communication in a practical way. This led me to pursue Speech-Language Pathology, a profession that allows me to apply my linguistic knowledge to clinical populations, ultimately to improve their quality of life.”

Interdisciplinary Linguistics
The study of Linguistics at The University of Winnipeg considers the relationship between language, culture and communication.
Interdisciplinary Linguistics examines the complexities of human language across a variety of university departments. In this program, you will explore elements of language structure, the relationship between language form and meaning, language variation and change over time, as well as issues of language use in daily communication in various social and cultural contexts.
This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree (3-year, 4-year, or Honours). Students taking an undergraduate degree in another Major may choose to add a Minor in Linguistics as a secondary area of interest.
Required High School Courses
You must meet The University of Winnipeg’s general admission requirements. No specific courses required.
