info on grad programs in computational linguistics
ThatSillyLinguist replied to a topic in Linguistics Forum
Thank you! Do you know if there are any other prerequisites in math etc? Meaning, if I were to apply and get accepted, will there be courses that are based on the assumption of preexisting knowledge in mathematics/programming etc, or is everything taught? -
info on grad programs in computational linguistics
ThatSillyLinguist replied to a topic in Linguistics Forum
I'm a current (BA) linguistics major and I'll be applying to grad school in December (For Fall 2018 admission) and am starting to look into programs. My top choice is currently University of Washington's MS in computational linguistics; the program looks phenomenal. That being said, I have no previous experience in any type of computer programming and can't remember the last time I took a math test. Are these subjects prerequisites that must be completed before applying? Or can you take them through the university afterwards? I noticed that they had a two year program which I wouldn't mind doing (instead of graduating in one year)... if I do that, do I still need to take other computer or math courses? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
