<p>Another question (or two) about computational linguistics:</p>

<p>1)What are some good Master's programs for computational linguistics? I already know of U of Washington, Georgetown, and Carnegie Mellon. Any others? </p>

<p>2)I'm currently entering my sophomore year, a linguistics major without any CS experience (yet). I'm currently brushing up on my math and hoping to place into calculus some time in the next school year, and I'm also going to take introductory programming courses. The point is, I'd be coming at a CompLing grad program from a heavily linguistics-oriented background. I'll try to incorporate as much CS as possible but I don't think I'll be able to complete a double-major, or even the minor in the time I have left. Should I stay an extra year of undergrad to do more CS, or just try and do as much as possible in 4 years?</p>

<p>I know it's preferable to be more CS-oriented than ling-oriented for this type of program, but I'm already dedicated to my language/linguistics course of study. Any advice?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Would you mind re-locating to the Washington DC area? The big 3 intel agencies are always looking for that skillset.</p>

<p>I’d move to wherever I was offered gainful employment. Can’t afford to turn one’s nose up in this economy.</p>

<p>Though I have to make it into a grad program, first…</p>
