BA/BS in Interdisciplinary Linguistics

Interdisciplinary Linguistics at The University of Winnipeg examines human language across multiple university departments, covering language structure, the relationship between linguistic form and meaning, language variation and change over time, and language use in everyday social and cultural contexts. Rather than sitting within a single department, the program draws on courses from across the university that address language, culture, and communication. It leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree, offered in 3-year, 4-year, and Honours formats. Students majoring in another subject may add a Minor in Linguistics as a secondary area of study. The curriculum includes courses on language structure and change, sociolinguistic context, and communication, supplemented by first-year requirements such as an introductory course and an academic writing requirement. Admission follows The University of Winnipeg's general entry requirements, with no specific high school courses required. The program is based in the Faculty of Arts and is overseen by a program coordinator who advises students and coordinates course offerings across the participating departments.
