PGCert in Linguistic, Comparative, and Related Language Studies and Services

This graduate certificate gives students a grounding in how language is organized, learned and used. It is aimed at people in other fields and at those who already hold a bachelor's degree and want linguistic background to support their careers. The knowledge applies to areas such as artificial intelligence, security and strategic intelligence, where understanding human language matters. Careers that benefit include language teaching at the college level and translation or interpreting. Enrollment depends on acceptance into the Graduate School. Students already in a graduate program at the university can add the certificate by submitting a status change form, and an academic advisor assists with course selection. The program is delivered by Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Prospective graduate students can use the program page to ask for information, begin an application and reach staff or an advisor who can explain courses and requirements. Applicants should confirm current admission steps, deadlines and funding options with the department and the Graduate School before applying, since procedures can change between terms.
