M.S. in Computational Linguistics at Montclair State University

The MS in Computational Linguistics at Montclair State University (New
Jersey, USA) is accepting applications for Fall 2026. This
interdisciplinary program is jointly offered by the Departments of
Linguistics and the School of Computing, combining theoretical linguistics
with training in NLP, machine learning, and language technologies.

*About the Program:*

*Cutting-edge coursework:* The curriculum integrates NLP, corpus
linguistics, annotation, machine learning, deep learning, and large
language models (LLMs), alongside strong foundations in syntax, semantics,
and phonetics.

*Research-active faculty: *Faculty research spans NLP, speech processing,
and computational modeling of language learning and processing. Areas of
work include figurative language, psycholinguistically informed approaches,
multilingual and low-resource NLP, corpus development and annotation, and
machine learning, including transformer-based methods. Students may
participate in ongoing research and lab-based projects, including work in
dedicated research labs (NLP Lab, Corpus Linguistics Lab, and Experimental
Linguistics Lab).

*Interdisciplinary training:* As a joint program between Linguistics and
the School of Computing, the curriculum integrates coursework in
programming, data structures, and machine learning with linguistics and NLP.

*Flexible pathways:* The program is open to students from any academic
background, with preparatory coursework available as needed.

*Industry relevance:* An active Industry Advisory Board helps align the
curriculum with current needs in AI and language technology, and supports
connections to internships, applied projects, and career opportunities.

*Career outcomes:* A growing alumni network supports placements across
industry, government, and academia.

*Location:* Montclair, NJ is approximately 12 miles from New York City,
providing direct access to a major hub for tech, AI, and research
opportunities.

*Funding:* A limited number of graduate assistantship positions will be
available for Fall 2026, awarded on a competitive, merit basis.
