Linguistics PhD students concentrating in computational linguistics
are admitted into the field of Linguistics, and normally select
Computer Science or Cognitive Studies as a graduate minor field.
Coursework includes core linguistics classes and courses in
computational linguistics and related areas taught in the Linguistics,
Computer Science, and Psychology departments. A member of the minor
field serves on the grad student's Special Committee.

This line of study is appropriate for students with a strong interest
in theoretical linguistics, in addition to computational linguistics.
Admitted students are normally offered 5-year funding packages.
