Welcome

Welcome to the website for the Doctoral Program in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) in the Language Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The Doctoral Program in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison prepares students to research and teach in the rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of SLA. Graduates of the the SLA Program pursue careers in many different fields, including linguistics, language planning and policy, language program direction and administration and foreign language teaching. Many of the Ph.D. degree recipients will seek careers in language education or as coordinators or directors of language programs, especially at the post-secondary level.
