The MA in Computational Linguistics offers an exceptional opportunity for students with degrees in Computer Science or Linguistics to develop a mastery of the theoretical foundations and empirical tools needed to apply Computational Linguistics to solve critical real-world problems.

Immerse yourself in the scientific study of language from a computational perspective. Computational linguistics draws on the expertise of faculty members and innovative interdisciplinary research from computer science (artificial intelligence, theory of computation, and programming methods), language and linguistics (phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics), philosophy, cognitive science, and psychology.

We offer a 2-year MA program in Computational Linguistics, and for Brandeis Undergraduates, a 5-year combined BA/MA program. There are several tracks to accommodate students of varying background, including those with little or no computer science, as well as computer science students with little or no linguistics background. For-credit internships with local companies are available in the second year of study, along with the opportunity to conduct research within the department.
