    The USC Linguistics Program, with faculty in five academic departments in the College of Liberal Arts, supports a graduate program (granting the Ph.D. and M.A. in Linguistics, and a TEFL Certificate) and an undergraduate minor. We currently have about 40 active students in the graduate program, and were ranked 7th among linguistics doctoral programs in the 2000 National Doctoral Program Survey conducted by the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students (http://survey.nagps.org/index.php). The program's dual emphasis on theoretical and applied aspects of linguistics is one of its major strengths, and the great variety of research conducted by faculty and graduate students is a reflection of the intellectual diversity that characterizes the program.
