Graduate Requirements

In addition to the above undergraduate course requirements for the B.S. component of this program, accelerated B.S./M.S. degree students must complete all graduate coursework with a minimum grade of B– or above. A minimum grade of B is necessary to remain in good standing in the Graduate School.

For specific graduate course requirements for the M.S. in Computational Linguistics, please see the University Graduate School Bulletin.
