The Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, offered by the College of Humanities & Fine Arts, provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human language, examining its history, structure, development, and psychological impact. The program draws on humanities, science, mathematics, and social and behavioral sciences. Students engage with core coursework in linguistic theory and can combine linguistics with specialized areas such as anthropology, various foreign languages, philosophy, psychology, or opt for certificates in areas like American English or TESOL. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for careers or further study in fields where language is central, including communication, therapy, law, education, and technology-related areas (like natural language processing). 来源： https://catalognavigator.umass.edu/~/Catalog/ViewCatalog.aspx?pageid=viewcatalog&catalogid=74&topicgroupid=24632
