Study Abroad in Linguistics

Linguistics students can greatly benefit from study abroad opportunities. This is particularly true for Language Studies majors, who can fulfill many course requirements and improve their language skills through study abroad. Our Linguistics Study Abroad Award encourages our majors and minors to take advantage of these opportunities. There are many options for Study Abroad available to UC San Diego students, from summer study to year-long programs.
