BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY MA IN COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS

Lotus Goldberg is an alumna of the Santa Cruz program, completing first the BA and then the MA in Linguistics in 1998. Lotus went on to complete the PhD at McGill University in Montreal and is now Assistant Professor of Language and Linguistics at Brandeis University. At Brandeis, Lotus is deeply involved in, among other things, the MA in Computational Linguistics which the department there offers. Our colleagues at Brandeis have asked us to publicize that program, which they describe as follows:

The Brandeis University Masters in Computational Linguistics is a unique program designed for students with backgrounds in linguistics, languages, computer science or mathematics who are interested in further study in computational linguistics. This two-year program provides students with a strong theoretical foundation and a working knowledge of applications, as well as solid programming skills and knowledge of industry standards and tools. When they graduate, our students are prepared for jobs in speech recognition, machine translation, search, and information extraction or continuing on to a PhD in computational linguistics.
