So far, I have the following list. I would appreciate hearing of any additions or corrections to this information. Campuses with undergraduate degree programs: Brown University (Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences) Carnegie Mellon University (Cognitive Science Program) Hampshire College (Cognitive Science Program) MIT (Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences) Occidental College (Cognitive Science Program) Simon Fraser University (Cognitive Science Program) UCLA (Psychology and Cognitive Science) University of Edinburgh (Department of Cognitive Science) University of Pennsylvania (Computer Science and Cognitive Science) University of Rochester (Cognitive Science Program) University of Sussex (School of Cognitive Science) University of Toronto (Major in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence) Uiversity of Western Ontario (Center for Cognitive Science) Vassar College (Cognitive Science Program) Wesleyan University (Cognitive Science Program) Campuses with undergraduate minor tracks and independent majors: Brandeis University Columbia University Dartmouth College Gustavus Adolphus College Harvard University Northeastern University Occidental College Smith College Stanford University SUNY Binghamton Tufts University UC Berkeley UC San Diego University of Florida University of Maryland University of Massachusetts at Amherst University of Oregon Wellesley College Almost all courses in these programs are not specifically courses in "Cognitive Studies" or Cognitive Science" but are instead courses in a particular department such as Psychology or Computer Science. Almost always there is a one semester (or occasionally a full year) introductory course in Cognitive Studies. Often there are one or two advanced seminars on "Topics in Cognitive Studies" where the content of the seminar is expected to vary from year to year depending on the interests of the instructor. Almost all the courses in any of these programs are courses in particular established departments. Occasionally, some of these courses in other departments are also given a Cognitive Studies designation in the school catalog. The main exceptions seem to be MIT, where there is no Department of Psychology but instead a Department of Brain and Cognitive Science, and the UC, San Diego, where an ambitious array of courses in Cognitive Science has been proposed for their new Department of Cognitive Science. -- Gilbert Harman Princeton University Cognitive Science Laboratory 221 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 ghh@princeton.edu HARMAN@PUCC.BITNET
