Begin forwarded message: *From:* "James Pustejovsky" <gudaitis at brandeis.edu> *Date:* December 8, 2015 4:52:59 PM EST *To:* newhall at cs.swarthmore.edu *Subject:* *Master's Program in Computational Linguistics at Brandeis University* *Reply-To:* gudaitis at brandeis.edu Dear Professor Newhall, As we get ready for Fall 2016 admissions, I wanted to ask if you might pass this email on to your students, and possibly post the attached PDF flyer in a place where it will be visible. Our Master's Program has an extremely high placement rate in Computational Linguistics industry jobs and PhD programs, both immediately after graduation and in the long term. Along with majors in Linguistics and/or Computer Science, we accept students without prior study in one or both fields, so long as they are very strong academically. More information on our program can be found on our website, go.brandeis.edu/compling <https://t.e2ma.net/click/gpemt/su2xik/8qaasc>. Thank you so much for your help! Best wishes, James Pustejovsky, Chair Master’s Program in Computational Linguistics Brandeis University Brandeis University M.A. in Computational Linguistics Do you have a zeal for linguistic structure and a fascination with computer programming?
