Advising Information for Current CL MS Students
Each semester, there are set office hour times when Computational Linguistics MS Students can bring their questions, problems, or feedback to their advisors. This includes questions about curriculum and course selection, degree requirements, issues you're having in a class or in school, career planning, planning for PhD study, Exit Requirements, and anything else you'd like to ask about or discuss. The advising office hour schedule for this semester is listed lower on this page.
In addition, assistance is available from the Division of Science Graduate Affairs office by emailing scigradoffice@brandeis.edu. The Graduate Affairs Office can provide you with information related to your academic records, campus resources, and administrative questions.
For all forms, academic advising questions, administrative questions, and when you’re not sure who to ask, please email clms-advising-group@brandeis.edu, which sends an email to Professor Sophia Malamud, CL MS Director of Graduate Studies; and Professor Lotus Goldberg, CL MS Vice Chair and advisor.
Finally, for career advising, including questions about finding internships and jobs, resume review, offers and negotiation, and preparation for industry receptions, please see Prof. Constantine Lignos (lignos@brandeis.edu), who you can email to set up an appointment.
