In response to Don Norman's call for information, no, UC Berkeley does
not have any degree-granting program in Cognitive Science either at the
undergraduate or at the graduate level.  So far, the most a student has
been able to do is to make use of the special institutional apparatus
for setting up a personally tailored degree program.  However, we are
now actively working on setting up a degree program at the undergraduate 
level.  Even such a modest goal should take from one to two years,
after all the committees have been formed and have analyzed the proposal.  
It was felt that a graduate degree program ought to be established only
after an undergraduate one was in place and after some demand for
Cognitive Science Ph.D.'s had developed.  But the "Doctorate in X and
Cognitive Science" formula is an interesting intermediate possibility,
and we'll look into it.
