Subject: Computational Linguistics: MA / MSc, University of Rochester, USA

 Institution/Organization: University of Rochester 
Department: Linguistcis 
Web Address: http://www.sas.rochester.edu/lin/graduate/MS.html 

Level: MA / MSc 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 
 

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Rochester invites
applications for its MS in Computational Linguistics. The 32-credit program
can be completed in 3 semesters (plus an optional additional semester for
thesis/project research). A tuition award (for reduced tuition) is available
for the strongest applicants. 

The MS in Computational Linguistics program trains students to be conversant
in the use of computational techniques for the analysis of natural language.
The curriculum consists of courses in Linguistics and Computer Science in
roughly a 50/50 mix, for a total of 32 credit hours. The program has proven
success in preparing graduates for further training at the PhD level in both
Computer Science and Linguistics as well as full-time programming positions. 

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Rochester is strongly
engaged in collaborative research and is devoted to involving graduate
students in research. MS students in Computational Linguistics work closely
with faculty on developing their own research interests and participate in
faculty members’ research projects. For ongoing research in the Department,
see: http://www.sas.rochester.edu/lin/research/. Additionally, MA students
have the opportunity to work as research or teaching assistants. 

The MS in Computational Linguistics Program is one of three Masters programs
offered in the Department, beside MA programs in Linguistics
(http://www.sas.rochester.edu/lin/graduate/Master.html) and Language
Documentation and Description
(http://www.sas.rochester.edu/lin/graduate/LDD.html). Students and faculty
working in all three areas collaborate to produce high quality theoretical
research informed by strong empirical evidence. 

We look for students with strong academic records who show breadth and depth
of interests, and the potential for creativity in pursuing a successful
computational linguistics program. A background in linguistics is not
required. 

To apply, follow instructions on the application link provided below. 

For fullest consideration applicants should submit completed applications by
