Bachelor of Science in Computational Linguistics

University at Buffalo - SUNY

"Alexa!" "Siri!" "Hey, Google!" If you've ever asked your smartphone for directions, messaged with a chatbot, or typed a random question into a search box, you already know the power of computational linguistics. Now, you can study how this technology works-and find ways to make it even better-in a rapidly growing field that brings together language and technology.What will I learn?As a computational linguistics student, you'll typically take courses from two departments (linguistics and computer science and engineering). For example, you may study how language relates to race and gender in one class, how to structure data for computational processing in another, and how to analyze linguistic data in another. With every semester, you'll gain a greater understanding of how computers process human language and how you can use this technology to solve real-world problems.
