[CogSci] Call for Applications: Georgetown Computational Linguistics PhD and MS Programs

[Nathan Schneider]

Call for Applications: Georgetown University MS and Ph.D. programs in
Computational Linguistics

Georgetown University (Washington, DC) invites applications to our MS and
Ph.D. programs for students wishing to study Computational Linguistics
starting in Fall 2025. Georgetown is strategically located in the nation's
capital with proximity to government institutions, a thriving tech
industry, and other major universities. Our programs offer advanced
training and cutting-edge research opportunities in topics such as natural
language processing, syntactic/semantic analysis, corpora, contemporary
machine learning/deep learning methods for language, and applications of
Large Language Models and AI technologies. Current research priorities
include computational psycholinguistics, computational models of discourse,
and linguistics-based language modeling. Students have the opportunity to
learn from faculty across a range of departments and to participate in our
interdisciplinary research community (http://gucl.georgetown.edu/).
Additionally, students who apply to the Ph.D. program in Computational
Linguistics may elect to participate in the university’s Interdisciplinary
Concentration in Cognitive Science.

Admitted Ph.D. applicants are offered full funding. Admissions and funding
decisions are made without regard to domestic vs. international status. Our
programs include:


   -

   MS in Computational Linguistics
   <https://linguistics.georgetown.edu/graduate/master-degree-programs/master-of-sciences>
   (Dept. of Linguistics, *Jan. 15* deadline)
   -

   Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics
   <https://linguistics.georgetown.edu/graduate/phd-programs> (Dept. of
   Linguistics, *Dec. 1* deadline)
   -

      Optional: Interdisciplinary Concentration in Cognitive Science
      <https://cogsci.georgetown.edu/concentration/>


Requirements: A bachelor’s degree by August 2025 is required to enter
either program. Both programs include core courses in Linguistics, so a
prior degree in Linguistics is not required. Ph.D. applicants are expected
to have some programming experience and a commitment to participating in
computational linguistics research. See recommendations for the Ph.D.
