语言学是对人类语言的研究，因为它不是我们应该认为的那样。杜鲁门大学是该地区为数不多的提供语言学学士学位的大学之一。无论是语言学专业的还是辅修的，您都将学习语言的结构，研究语言与社会之间的关系，或者语言与思想之间的关系。您将对语言如何与人类体验的其他方面相互作用产生高级理解。所有这些将在许多专业领域为您提供良好的服务。您所有的课程都由语言学教授教授。我们的小班制和16：1的师生比为与您的同学互动和与教授一对一地开展额外项目提供了机会，这些项目包括语言和自闭症研究或由TruScholars夏季本科研究计划。
Truman is one of the few universities in the region offering an undergraduate degree in linguistics. As a Linguistics major, you study how languages interact with other facets of the human experience. You hone your craft of linguistic analysis, become a better writer, and develop an advanced understanding of human thought in expressed action. You have opportunities to work one-on-one with your professors on projects such as research on language and autism or projects funded by the TruScholars Summer Undergraduate Research Program. You can present at conferences - perhaps Truman's Undergraduate Student Research Conference - and gain a professional edge by publishing your work in academic and professional journals.
