The UW Department of Linguistics, one of the oldest in the U.S., brings you a top-notch Professional Master's program in Computational Linguistics. Steered by an advisory board that includes managers and researchers from many leading technology companies, our program is designed to ensure you'll have the skills to grow and change with this exciting, dynamic field.

What is Computational Linguistics?

Language is widely recognized as part of what makes us human. We instinctively know its value in communication and the development of ideas. Transferring those skills to computers is the challenge of a computational linguist-from predictive text messaging to dialogue software for your car, to discoveries in medical research.

In just 12 months of full-time study, or 24–36 months of part-time study, you'll be well prepared for a variety of positions:

  • Computational Linguist
  • Specialized Software Development Engineer
  • Language Technician
  • Language Specialist
  • Quality Assurance Analyst
  • Translational Technology Specialist
