Computational Linguistics, B.S. (Interdisciplinary-World Languages and Literatures))

The B.S. in Computational Linguistics is an interdisciplinary degree featuring a language core in foreign language (French or Spanish) and coursework in French/Spanish linguistics, theoretical linguistics, computer programming, mathematics and statistics, and cognitive psychology. The program in computational linguistics will offer instruction in a number of disciplines, including world languages (primarily French and Spanish), French/Spanish and English phonology/phonetics, syntax, sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, machine learning, mathematics, and data structures and algorithms. 

The field of computational linguistics is concerned with the investigation of human language using computational tools, such as the development of semantic and grammatical models of language that are amenable to computer analysis, the exploration of statistical and structural properties of human language using machine learning methodologies, and the development of effective computer-aided translation and analysis of spoken and written language, among many other applications.
