[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIT for computational linguistics. Yale also has a prof who is leading in that field.[/quote] Yale has more than one. What a waste of time to read this foolishness by people who don't know the academic excellence of the institutions they are speaking on. Yale trounces both of these schools.[/quote] It's a waste of time for undergrad applicants to obsess about the rankings of the departments in which they think they might major. This information would be pertinent if OP's kid were looking at PhD programs. For undergrad, I'd choose a school with a linguistics major over one that has no faculty on campus. But there's really no need to choose one of the top ten research departments in the country for a bachelor's degree. My logic is particularly true for linguistics. Very few high school students have studied linguistics in a structured way, so a decision to major in the subject has to be tentative. [/quote]
