Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places.

Second Language Studies (GIS)

Second Language Studies (GIS)

The field of second language studies examines how we learn and use second and additional languages from linguistic, psychological, and socio-cultural standpoints.

The Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization (GIS) in Second Language Studies provides graduate students a theoretical and practical background, allowing them to enhance their professional experience in the field of second language.

Graduate students enrolled in GIS in second language studies will work with faculty from a number of different academic units across the campus.
