Master of Science in Computational Linguistics
The volume of spoken and written language traveling through digital channels grows every day. Translating that data for technological application is critical, creating a pressing demand for professionals who can mine, organize, analyze and manage digitally captured language.
As an emerging leader in computer science and information technology, Montclair State now offers the first and only Computational Linguistics master’s program in New Jersey, just 12 miles from New York City and close to an abundance of companies hiring for these specialized skills.
