Hey everyone,

So I was accepted into a linguistics Phd program this fall and am excited to begin. I plan to focus on CompLing and following the MS Compling track my school offers as a basis for my coursework. However I will have the opportunity to take additional classes and was wondering if any of you had any advice on this?

Basically what classes do you think were the most important for you considering what your careers have required? The school has a list of approved electives like "corpus linguistics" "analysis of algorithms" etc., but I am sure some are more applicable outside of academia. Can you think of any coursework that you had or wish you had in preparation for working as a computational linguist?

Thanks ahead of time everyone!
