	Stanford has a program along the lines of that described
	at UCSD. The participating departments are CS, linguistics,
	philosophy, and psychology. There is a list of courses 
	offered in those departments that count toward a course
	requirement for a phd in 'X and Cognitive Science' (I am
	not sure that that is the wording, but it is the gist).
	In addition to whatever course work you need to do in
	your department, you must take some number of those
	approved courses, with a certain distribution between
	your dept and the other three. Depending on your dept
	and how much course work you need to do there, it could
	be quite an undertaking. Also, it is a relatively recent
	thing, and I not sure how many people are actually
	involved in it.

	I found out about it simply by calling one of the depts
	and asking if that had any cogsci organization.

	Stanford also has a well-funded research center, the
	Center for the Study of Language and Intelligence
	(or something similar that spells CSLI ("Cicely")).
