Biography/History
The Committee for Linguistics recommended the establishment of a Department of Linguistics
in October 1963. The Department of Linguistics was established and began offering classes in
September 1964, with Gareth W. Dunleavy of the English Department acting as the first
department chair. The department does not offer a post-graduate program leading to an
advanced degree in linguistics; however, several other departments and schools within the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee cooperate with the Department of Linguistics to offer an
emphasis in linguistics within their respective programs. Advanced degree programs which
cross-list classes with the Department of Linguistics include the Master of Foreign Language
and Literature, Master of Fine Arts and Doctor of Philosophy in English, Master of Science
and Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology, and the Doctoral program in Urban Education.
In 1996, the department became a program in the Department of Foreign Languages and
Linguistics.
