Graduate Programmes
The UAF MA Program in Applied Linguistics provides students with training in applied linguistics, broadly defined to include second language teaching, curriculum and materials development, documentary linguistics, and language policy and planning. The Linguistics Program is highly interdisciplinary in nature, drawing on faculty expertise in the Alaska Native Language Program, the Department of Anthropology, the Department of English, the School of Education, and the Department of Foreign Languages. Students in the Linguistics Program work closely with faculty engaged in primary research to develop linguistic applications relevant to Alaska and beyond.
The MA Program in Applied Linguistics is usually able to offer one TA-ship a year, and occasional RA-ships are available, associated with faculty grants (see below). Teaching assistant duties vary widely and may involve assisting a faculty member in a course or lecturing in an introductory course.

All students are encouraged to apply for funds outside the Program and outside UAF. Faculty will assist students in developing funding proposals. Be sure to take note of funding application deadlines, and allow sufficient time to discuss funding proposals with your advisor.
