Graduate courses in Applied Linguistics

...that's what I'm looking for. I know UMass Boston has an MA program, are there others? I would like to take a few classes without having to commit to a degree program.

 

I believe UofMass is the only one in the United States for distance learning. You can call Regent University,they might have some courses. If you're gearing for a degree, you check out with UK and Australian's insitutions.

 

Tekman is right. Here's a program from Edith Cowan University.

and here is a program from the University of Southern Queensland.

Here are some options from the UK:

University of Leicester:
MA in TESOL and Applied linguistics

University of Nottingham
- MA in Applied Linguistics & English Language Teaching
- MA Applied Linguistics

University of Birmingham
MA Applied Linguistics

University of Aston
- MSc in Applied Linguistics
- MSc in Forensic Linguistics

I believe that all of the schools referenced above will allow you to take a module (course in British parlance) without committing to a degree program. Most schools in the U.K. allow one to pick up a Post Graduate (PG) diploma and certificate on the way to obtaining a Masters. These milestones are qualifications in their own right.

For more results, copy/paste the following search string into Google:

"applied linguistics" "distance learning" site:.ac.uk

For results in the U.S., replace "site:.ac.uk" with "site:.edu".

For results in Oz, use "site:edu.au"


This is also an area of interest for me. Good Luck!
