Linguistics Research and Internships
The Pitt Linguistics Internship Program is a pioneer in the country in preparing students for challenging careers where linguistics is part of the solution, training them in a supportive environment, and strengthening Pitt Linguistics-industry partnerships to facilitate the exchange of knowledge through research and education. These internship experiences are highly impactful and play a pivotal role in empowering students to secure employment post-graduation.
Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTL) Center
The LCTL Center exists to broaden the range of options in foreign language study for Pitt students, and we offer courses in over a dozen languages that you can't study in many other places. We currently provide instruction in American Sign Language, Amharic, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Hungarian, Irish, Greek, Persian/Farsi, Quechua, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
