Abstract

We present the design of a professional master's program in Computational Linguistics. This program can be completed in one-year of full-time study, or two-three years of part-time study. Originally designed for CS professionals looking for additional training, the program has evolved in flexibility to accommodate students from more diverse backgrounds and with more diverse goals.
