The graduate designated emphasis (DE) leading to the degree notation “with an emphasis in Human Language Media and Modeling Designated Emphasis” (HLMM) is a collaboration of faculty from the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering, Linguistics, and Psychology. This DE is administered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Students wishing to complete a master’s thesis, project, or doctoral dissertation in this area must satisfy the degree requirements of a primary program as well as those of the DE. The DE is most suitable for students pursuing degrees in linguistics, computational media, computer science and engineering, and psychology. However, students from any area may work in this interdisciplinary field as long as they meet all requirements, including progress, within the primary degree program.
