语言学和计算机

专业介绍

The major combines the basic courses of the general linguistics program with that of computer science, accommodating students who want professional preparation in computer science but do not necessarily have a strong interest in computer systems hardware. The goal of linguistics is the enrichment of knowledge about the nature, grammar, and history of human language. Linguistics is a theoretical discipline, akin to philosophy, anthropology, and cognitive psychology.

*This major is certified by the US Department of Education as a STEM program, CIP Code 30.2501, which focuses on the study of the mind and the nature of intelligence from the interdisciplinary perspectives of computer science, philosophy, mathematics, psychology, neuroscience, and other disciplines. Includes instruction in mathematics and logic, cognitive process modeling, dynamic systems, learning theories, brain and cognition, neural networking, programming, and applications to topics such as language acquisition, computer systems, and perception and behavior.

Please note there were some changes made to the LING & CS major that went into effect Fall 2023. The new LING & CS program requirements will apply to any student entering the major in Fall 2023 and beyond. If you were already in the major before Fall 2023 and would like to switch to the new program, please send an email to the undergraduate student advisor.
