The University of Chicago is renowned for its interdisciplinary culture, and doctoral students can pursue a variety of joint or dual degree programs. Opportunities to create a specific combination can be discussed with one’s Director of Graduate Study.

Existing programs include:

Joint PhD in Anthropology and Linguistics

In addition to linguistic anthropology as a sub-field within the Department of Anthropology , a joint Ph.D. program is available to students who are admitted to both the Department of Anthropology and the  Department of Linguistics . Administratively, the student is admitted to, and remains registered in, the primary, or “home” department, and subsequently seeks admission to the second department in joint residence status. Students approved to pursue the joint degree program must complete the requirements of both departments, including the distinct introductory and advanced courses stipulated by each, the departmental qualifying examination in appropriate special fields, and the language requirements, including additional foreign languages for the Linguistics Ph.D. Students should declare interest in the Joint Degree Program on the initial graduate application to the Department, and should discuss this interest personally with linguistic anthropology faculty soon after arrival on campus.

Joint PhD in Psychology and Linguistics

Students in the Department of Linguistics in the Division of the Humanities who wish to work toward a joint PhD in Psychology's Cognition Program and in Linguistics must be admitted to the Department of Psychology .

Joint PhD in Financial Economics

Established in 2006, the Joint PhD Program in Financial Economics is offered jointly by the Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics and the Finance dissertation area at  Chicago Booth . The aim of this program is to leverage the strengths of both sponsors in training PhD students interested in financial economics. Students must satisfy program requirements for the PhD in both departments.

Joint PhD in Psychology and Business

Established in 2009, the Joint Program in Psychology and Business is overseen jointly by the  Department of Psychology  and the  Behavioral Science dissertation area  at Chicago Booth. The aim of this program is to connect the large number of social, cognitive, and organizational psychologists at Chicago Booth and within the Department of Psychology. To qualify for the joint program, a student must be admitted into either the Psychology or the Business graduate program.

JD/PhD Programs

Doctoral students in Social Sciences who are also admitted to the University of Chicago Law School may pursue a concurrent PhD/JD program , where there is an explicit and authorized close association between legal education and doctoral training. Students in the concurrent degree program alternate registration sites between the two units. Students complete all requirements for both degrees. Applicants must apply to both programs separately. The University of Chicago Law School has established a fellowship program to support students pursuing a concurrent JD/PhD at the University of Chicago, which may grant fellowship aid during the Law School years.

MD/PhD in Medicine, the Social Sciences, and Humanities

The program in  Medicine, the Social Sciences and Humanities (MeSH)  at the University of Chicago trains medical students to become innovative physician-scholars at the critical interface of medicine and society. The MeSH program is an opportunity for students interested in obtaining an MD and a PhD in a field outside of the traditional biological and physical sciences. Students interested in MeSH may pursue a doctoral degree among any of the graduate programs relevant to the social sciences and humanities at the University of Chicago.

Joint PhD in Social Thought & Classics

The  Joint Ph.D. Program in Social Thought and Classics  is intended for students whose study of a particular issue or text from the ancient Greek and Roman world requires a broadly inter-disciplinary approach alongside a professional mastery of philological skills. Those interested in pursuing this joint degree program must first be admitted in EITHER the  Committee on Social Thought  OR the  Department of Classics  and complete at minimum the two quarter language survey (Greek or Latin), offered by the Department of Classics, with an average grade of B or higher. Application shall then be made to the second department and, provided that the standards of admission to that department are met, students will be admitted to joint degree status. 

Joint PhD Social Thought & Philosophy

The  Joint Ph.D. Program in Social Thought and Philosophy  is designed to provide students with equal in-depth training, simultaneously provided by the Committee on Social Thought and the Department of Philosophy . Those interested in pursuing this joint degree program must first be admitted in EITHER the Committee on Social Thought OR the Department of Philosophy. After commencing the program of study, application shall then be made to the second department and, provided that the standards of admission to that department are met, students will be admitted to joint degree status. 

Other Joint and Ad Hoc Degree Possibilities

Students admitted to any doctoral program in Social Sciences may subsequently petition the University to create a joint program with another department. Such individually-created joint degree programs begin in the second year of graduate studies or later. In all cases, students complete the separate program requirements for each degree, with no additional residence requirement, and write one Ph.D. dissertation that separately meets the dissertation requirements of each department.

Cognitive Science (Joint PhD)

Cutting across the information and life sciences, cognitive science is a paradigmatic multi- and inter-disciplinary research program with enormous future societal benefits, especially as intelligent artificial agents are becoming part of our lives.

Program Objectives

Tufts has built up a world-renowned faculty in Cognitive Science, some of whom have been prominent since the beginnings of the field. The joint PhD program has particular interdisciplinary strength in the area of human language, including theoretical linguistics, psycho- and neurolinguistics, reading and dyslexia, and computational linguistics, and it offers considerable expertise as well in other traditional subareas of cognitive science including animal cognition, human memory, behavioral/cognitive/affective neuroscience, cognitive modeling, robotics, and human computer interaction.

Application Requirements

• Application Fee
• Personal Statement
• Official TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test scores, if applicable
• Transcripts
• Three Letters of Recommendation
• GRE General Test scores: Not required for applicants applying to Psychology: Cognitive Science, Child Study and Human Development: Cognitive Science, and Education: Cognitive Science. If you are applying to the Computer Science: Cognitive Science program, GREs are waived for those who will have received a degree from an institution located in the U.S. or Canada by time of enrollment.

There is no separate admissions process for the cognitive science PhD program. Simply indicate on your application to a home department that they would like to be admitted to the cognitive science PhD program. The program director will work with faculty responsible for admission in the home department to determine your eligibility. Note that this process will not conflict with the admissions process (or criteria) in your home department; only students that satisfy the admissions criteria of the home department can be considered for admission into the cognitive science PhD program.

Program Overview

The graduate program in linguistics, which culminates in a PhD degree, is intended to be completed in six years . The University of Chicago operates on the quarter system. Graduate students normally register for three courses per quarter, for three quarters per year . Students generally take three to four years of coursework.

Students must take eight foundational courses  (selected from fourteen available options), a methods course, and three additional graduate-level courses in linguistics. All of these must be taken within the first four years, and six of them during the first year. In addition, all eight foundational courses must be taken during the first two years.

In the second and third years, students continue taking courses and write two qualifying papers under faculty supervision. In addition to these major landmarks, students are required to satisfy a non-Indo European language requirement and to pass a reading examination in an additional language other than English. In years two and three, when students are writing qualifying papers, they must also take the Research Seminar course.

Upon completion of the qualifying papers and course and language requirements and defense of a dissertation proposal by the end of the fourth year students are admitted to candidacy for the PhD; the only remaining requirement is the dissertation .

The program also includes professionalization seminars, which help prepare students for presenting their work at different venues and for the job market.

Students enrolled in the program must also fulfill certain teaching requirements (3 CAships and 1 stand-alone lectureship), which are normally completed during their third, fourth, and fifth years in the program, as well as pedagogical training.

The Linguistics Graduate Student Handbook provides more information about requirements, milestones, and important dates for doctoral students.

Joint PhD Programs

Our philosophy of joint programs.

Joint programs are always between two partners: the Department of Philosophy and one other graduate program (at UChicago, the programs are Classics, Germanics, Linguistics, and Social Thought). The purpose of such programs is to allow a graduate student to come into sustained and rewarding dialogue with faculty and graduate students working in a related field. The programs thus grow out of a recognition that the serious study of certain areas within the discipline of philosophy itself requires literacy outside the discipline and, in particular, in the fundamentals of a wholly different discipline.

With the exception of the Joint Program with Social Thought, all our joint programs are not technically joint PhD programs: they do not  provide students with equally in-depth training in two different exacting and distinct disciplines, thereby leading to a degree which would equip a graduate student to be hired in either kind of department. Our experience is that most such joint PhD programs either fail to be properly balanced or lead to a student staying in graduate school much longer than is advisable. Most of our joint programs, therefore, fulfill a somewhat more modest mission: to give graduate students working within two different departments with a degree of involvement in the intellectual life of the other department and to provide these two different communities of inquirers with enriching, cross-fertilizing, and overlapping interests.

In the case of each of the joint programs between the Department of Philosophy and the Departments of Classics, Germanic Studies, and Linguistics, respectively, we have therefore established cooperative programs: ones in which students will enroll either in the PhD program of the allied department or in Philosophy, but will also be required to take certain courses in the department in which they are not enrolled. Faculty of both departments in these cooperative programs are committed to training students in the other department; all students and faculty involved in joint programs participate in both seminars and specially dedicated workshops, which both serve as central locations for the programs’ intellectual exchanges.

Our Joint Programs

Cooperative Program in Philosophy and Linguistics

Joint Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy

Joint Program in German Philosophy

Joint Degree Program in Social Thought and Philosophy

Applying to the Joint Programs

Applicants should apply directly to the PhD program they feel will be their primary intellectual and future disciplinary home. They should indicate in their personal statement, however, that they are potentially interested in a particular joint program—and why. Once they are here on campus, they should talk to the professors who run that program about the program’s details and procedures. Students usually apply to be in a joint program at the University of Chicago after they have finished one year of coursework in their primary PhD program.

• Graduate Program

PhD in Linguistics

The Department of Linguistics invites applications from students interested in pursuing a fully-funded PhD program in linguistics focusing on cross-disciplinary training and collaboration.

The faculty in the Department of Linguistics are grounded in the traditional fields of formal linguistics, employing empirical methodologies to examine data and topics in experimental syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics, laboratory phonology, and morphology in collaboration with researchers in allied fields. Our work incorporates contemporary issues and practices in language documentation, corpus linguistics, dialect variation and psycholinguistics.

Linguistics is a core member of Rochester's Center for Language Sciences , which also includes researchers in computer science , philosophy , and related departments, such as biomedical engineering , brain and cognitive sciences , as well as departments at the Eastman School of Music . At Rochester, cross disciplinary collaborative work is the norm.

Interdisciplinary engagement

Many of our students have benefited from engaging in interdisciplinary work with other departments at the University of Rochester. These departments include computer science, philosophy, biomedical engineering, and brain and cognitive sciences, and might include diverse fields such as anthropology or music theory at the Eastman School of Music.

Joint ph.d. anthropology & linguistics.

Applicants to The University of Arizona’s Ph.D. program in Anthropology and Linguistics (ANLI) should have significant background in both linguistics and anthropology.

The ANLI program makes it possible for students to pursue the study of language in its social context and linguistic theory, drawing on the resources of both the Department of Linguistics and the Linguistic Anthropology program within the School of Anthropology, without having to go through two separate Ph.D. programs.  Potential applicants should clearly address in their statement of intent how their past experiences and future research interests fit with the current strengths of both departments.

Both departments have strong national reputations for their contributions to the study of language, and each department has specialized in mutually compatible ways in the kinds of linguistic theory and analysis it offers students. The Department of Linguistics focuses on formal and experimental language structure models, including the study of Southwestern Native American languages and cultures, and historical linguistics. Linguistic Anthropology, as one of the four sub-disciplines within the field of anthropology, has concentrated on developing the study of language in its social context, particularly in sociolinguistics, including strong links with Cultural Anthropology. Scholars from both departments have also conducted research and fieldwork on numerous languages.

The joint degree in Anthropology and Linguistics is designed for students interested in both departments who would emerge from the program as job candidates for both linguistics and anthropology departments. Both the School of Anthropology and the Department of Linguistics offer teaching assistantships and research support for students in the joint Ph.D. program.

International Joint Supervision of PhD Students Scheme Bidding for Provost’s Strategic Allocation of Centrally-funded RPg Places for 2024–25 Admission

(For CUHK Faculty Members)

Deadline: 23 February 2024, Friday

Internationalisation is a key priority in the University’s pursuit of research excellence. Research output from international collaboration tends to yield higher citation and greater impact. As part of CUHK’s internationalisation strategy underlined in the Strategic Plan (CUHK 2025), the University must enhance its global engagement to improve output, increase visibility, and demonstrate impact in order to stay competitive. This will in turn strengthen CUHK’s reputation and reinforce its position as a world-class university.

Joint supervision of PhD students is one of the most effective and efficient tools to drive and foster international research collaboration, in addition to bringing a highly valued learning opportunity to students. To encourage faculty members to engage in joint supervision of PhD students with their international peers, 15 PhD places have been earmarked for competitive bidding under the Provost’s Strategic Allocation of Centrally-funded Research Postgraduate (RPg) places for 2024-25 admission. Under which, the PhD students would be required to undertake research attachments of at least six months with the host supervisors at the partner institutions to support the joint research between their CUHK supervisors and their collaborators abroad.

Partners & Strategic Areas for Collaboration

The current round of bidding supports collaborative research projects with priority partners primarily in the four strategic research areas  identified in CUHK 2025, which are China: Tradition and Modernity; Innovative Biomedicine; Information and Automation Technology; and Environment and Sustainability . Projects which do not fall within the four areas may also be considered.

The priority partners for the current round of application include:  

While the current round of application will focus on the priority partners listed above, strong applications to work with other top-tier institutions will also be considered. Ideally, the institutions should be ranked within the top 100 in major global university league tables.

The Social Construction of Backdirt in Chaco Archaeology

An article by Kelsey Hanson (SoA PhD candidate), “ The Social Construction of Backdirt in Chaco Archaeology ” was published in Journal of Field Archaeology . You can download the paper from this link: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00934690.2024.2307122#abstract .

Abstract : Archaeologists routinely create backdirt during excavation, but it is rarely acknowledged and remains surprisingly undertheorized. In this paper, we treat backdirt as a uniquely archaeological product that is socially constructed and guided by culturally and historically situated motivations. Using Chaco Canyon as a case study, we examine the ways in which project priorities changed over nearly 150 years of excavation and (more recently) re-excavation. We illustrate the importance of understanding backdirt as a social product by comparing the avifaunal assemblages created by two major excavation projects at the great house of Una Vida. Differences in these assemblages demonstrate how changes in research goals structured what was collected, what was left as backdirt, and how this ultimately impacts interpretations about Chaco history. Finally, we offer thoughts about the future role of backdirt in archaeological praxis as a space to welcome feminist and Indigenous perspectives in the construction of archaeological narratives.

Interview with Google DeepMind Fellow David Ifeoluwa Adelani

2 August 2024

Dr David Adelani, UCL’s first Google DeepMind Fellow, discusses the transformative impact of his research in Natural Language Processing (NLP). As he embarks on a new chapter at McGill University, David reflects on his journey, accomplishments, and Google DeepMind’s support.

1. Can you give us an overview of the research project you worked on during your fellowship at UCL? 

My research project is on NLP for under-resourced languages. My approach follows the participatory research method, where the native speakers of these languages are involved in building datasets and models for these languages.

One of the communities of native speakers I have collaborated closely with is Masakhane – a grassroots organisation focusing on NLP for African languages.

Some of my notable achievements include benchmark datasets for African languages, such as MasakhaPOS , NollySenti , ÌròyìnSpeech , and SIB-200 , as well as a novel cross-lingual question answering dataset, AfriQA .

Ten of my papers based on this work have been accepted at top NLP conferences, which showcase some significant advances. I’m really proud of that.

Additionally, I collaborated on projects like BLOOM+1 and AfriTeVa V2 , expanding multilingual language models and developing new methods for language model adaptation.

2. What are the real-world implications of your research? 

This research helped to address the under-representation of many languages in language technology e.g. searching for a query on search engines (AfriQA) or analysing sentiment of a movie (NollySenti) or social media like Twitter in an African language (AfriSenti).

This research aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of reduced inequalities.

3. What have been the highlights of your time at UCL? 

Some highlights include:

• Receiving the Area Chair award for our paper on MasakhaNEWS at IJCNLP-AACL (International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing and the Asia-Pacific Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics) 2023 in Bali.
• First NeurIPS (Neural Information Processing Systems) paper with colleagues at UCL-NLP, the largest AI conference in our field.
• Co-teaching Statistical Natural Language Processing, the largest class I have taught.
• three ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics) 
• four EMNLP (Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing) papers
• two LREC-COLING (Joint International Conference on Computational Linguistics, Language Resources and Evaluation)
• one EACL (European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics)
• and one NAACL (North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics).

This is the first time I will have more than two papers consecutively at the top two NLP conferences in ranking.

4. Was there anything in UCL support that you particularly welcomed or might have contributed to your success? 

I was invited to join the UCL-NLP group, which helped me collaborate on research projects with several NLP researchers, that led to academic publications. It also provided me with the opportunity to supervise and collaborate with students, from BSc, MSc, and PhD.

The support from my mentors like Pontus Stenetorp and Marc Deisenroth when I was applying for faculty positions was also really appreciated.

5. Could you share how the collaboration with Google DeepMind influenced your research fellowship?  

Support from Google DeepMind was invaluable as they provided us with mentors who gave us useful career advice. My mentor Sebastian Riedel was very helpful in offering a lot of feedback when I was preparing for my faculty job talks.

They also offered some meetings to learn about our progress and the challenges we have faced, and even the chance to contribute to developing the next generation of AI talent through student talks and panels.

6. What’s next for you? 

I secured a tenure-track assistant professor position at McGill University, Canada, and I will also be a core member at MILA - Quebec AI Institute, the world's largest academic research centre for deep learning. I believe that the mentorship and the support I received from UCL and Google DeepMind has been instrumental in me getting this position.

Overview and Learning Goals

Linguistics examines fundamental properties that all languages share, and how they differ, with respect to structure, meaning, acquisition, variation, and change; it includes the study of biological, social, cultural, and historical bases of language. Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) is also concerned with language structure, how it is represented in the mind, and how it is used, but focuses more on atypical or disordered populations.

The interdisciplinary, intercollegiate major in Linguistics & SLHS is available to students in SAR pursuing a BS degree and to CAS students pursuing a BA. The major provides a theoretically solid, empirically oriented program of study focused on experimental approaches to language science and interactions between theoretical study of human language and clinical applications. It takes advantage of the faculty strengths and richness of course offerings in related disciplines from CAS/Linguistics and SAR/SLHS, which have considerable synergies. The joint degree, with a curriculum designed to integrate the two disciplines in a way that provides students with relevant and complementary courses from both domains, is more than just the sum of the two separate components.

The 13-course joint major offers a solid foundation in both domains, breadth of coverage, and good preparation for a variety of career paths. It prepares students for graduate study in any of a number of related areas (e.g., linguistics, psychology, neurolinguistics, cognitive science) and for graduate/professional work in speech-language pathology, audiology, or more generally, for future careers in medicine, neuropsychology, language technology (e.g., speech recognition or speech synthesis), or areas of child development and education. Individual plans of study will be designed, in consultation with faculty advisors, to match students’ interests and professional goals.

Students graduating with a major in Linguistics & Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences will be able to demonstrate:

• an understanding of the fundamental questions that drive modern linguistic research concerning formal structure, universals, acquisition, historical change, variation, and social dimensions of use, along with foundational knowledge in the core areas of linguistic theory
• foundational knowledge in the areas that form the basis for research and clinical work in speech, language and hearing sciences
• the ability to identify and describe with precision the empirical patterns found in sets of language data, and to construct well-reasoned analyses by formulating, testing, and refining hypotheses about these patterns
• the ability to apply their coursework in Linguistics and SLHS either in research or in clinical or other professional experiences, demonstrating integrative reasoning to interpret data in relation to published research, justifying the scope of their analyses, supporting their conclusions, and presenting a coherent summary of the relevant facts and of their reasoning
