The Department of Linguistics will offer a new Data Analytics focus for the MA in Linguistics beginning Fall 2024. The focus (12 semester hours of coursework beyond the core requirements) is designed to train students in the basics of experimental and linguistics-focused data analytics to better prepare them for career opportunities in industry as well as advanced graduate work in Linguistics. Two courses form the core of this focus: LING:4291/4292 Statistical and Experimental Methods in Linguistics I/II; additional coursework is provided in areas such as statistics, experimental design, and human-computer interaction.
