Greetings and salutations!
We continue to seek information on program graduates for a mailing list database and a file of professional activities, including employment, presentations, and publications for inclusion in future newsletters. Graduates, please send us your vital statistics.

This page lists our recent graduates, their year of graduation, and the title of their dissertation or thesis. You can scroll down at your leisure or go directly to the degree that you're interested in. The first table shows information about recent Ph.D. graduates. There are also sections for M.A. graduates, and those earning a Certificate in TESOL. In addition, we have a number of USC alumni who did not complete degrees in the Linguistics Program, but who are linguists and active in the field. For those entries, click here

If you are looking for a particular alumna/us, please go to the Alumni Directory.

Also, graduates are urged to consider donating to the Linguistics Program through the USC Educational Development Fund. Donations in any amount are appreciated. Donations should be made out to the USC Educational Development Fund and earmarked for The Linguistics Program (reference number 1A3142) and sent to USC Educational Development Fund, USC, Columbia, SC 29208. (You can now also make your gift online at https://giftsonline.sc.edu/contribute.asp.)

The fund is important because it helps provide supplementary funding of various student-related activities, including gatherings surrounding visiting scholars, professional development workshopts, and other events. Thank you!
