Bio:
Testimonial
The Emphasis in Applied Linguistics has guided my graduate course work and enhanced my knowledge and skillset as a language teacher. It also provided me the opportunity to diversify my research interests by exploring linguistic topics outside of my dissertation. The emphasis directly impacted my success in the job market after completion of my PhD in Spanish Languages and Literatures. I highly recommend it!
