Home / Information for Prospective Students
The CLS includes many graduate students from our member departments and programs:
- French and Francophone Studies
- Applied Linguistics
- Communication Sciences and Disorders
- Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literature
- Psychology
- Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese
Most of these students are funded through their home departments. Currently, the CLS offers two graduate assistantships to Language Science Scholars.

The Center also provides opportunities for motivated undergraduate students to gain experience in a wide range of language research, either for course credit or for work-study. These opportunities vary from semester to semester, so students should contact faculty members and research groups for more information.
If you are interested in learning more about being a student (graduate or undergraduate) member of the CLS, please contact individual faculty or one of the academic departments.
There are other units within Penn State that have missions and interests that may or may not overlap with the CLS. You may wish to find out more about them.
