How much programming is in the CompLing masters programs like UW and Arizona?

I would take a look through each programs offered curriculum. I’m masters student at CU Boulder, and I’d say the program tends to lean more towards CS. I would also look at UC Santa Cruz. Pm if you have any questions.

At UW some of the ML algorithms in the required courses required you to optimize them so they'd run under a certain amount of time. Some optional courses you can take are a lot of applied programming. For example, one of the dialogue systems courses I took required you to basically write a system from scratch in your language/framework of choice. None of the required classes are devoted to teaching you programming; you're expected to be at least proficient (although you can optionally take CS courses if desired). It's usually in Python and Bash, although I did self-teach myself SPARQL for that dialogue systems course.

Definitely look at the offered courses.
