From: schmidt@cogsci.uwo.ca (William Schmidt) Subject: Graduate School List Date: 31 Aug 91 00:18:52 GMT Organization: University of Western Ontario, London Greetings All. I recently requested information on graduate programs with cognitive science content, specifically, for contacts at the various schools. The following represents the results to date. Some of the entries are scant and even lack contacts, however I did not want to exclude any of the responses. I will if requested, pass on a copy of the response that I received from particular schools. Where e-mail contacts are provided, please mail them directly. THANKS to everbody who responded. I am continuing to maintain this list, so feel free to inform me. schmidt@cogsci.uwo.ca ========================================================================= :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ABO AKADEMI UNIVERSITY, FINLAND :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Areas : AI applications, Neural network applications Contact: vt_ai@finabo.abo.fi (A'bo Akademi, Turku, Finland - Scandinavia's most internationalised university) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BERKELEY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Cognitive Science: phone number is (510) 642-8461.

There are also a number a number of separate Research Centers. The most relevant of these is the Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition. Other relevant Research Centers and Institutes include Semiotic Studies, Folklore, the Kinsey Institute (Human Sexuality), the Institute for the Study of Human Capabilities, and the Program in Neural Science. The Graduate Program -------------------- All graduate degrees in Cognitive Science must be associated with another department's major. There are two options: (1) A combined Ph.D. with double major in Cognitive Science and another field. (2) A Ph.D. in the original field, with a minor in Cognitive Science. Courses will be taken from the original field, from a selection of core Cognitive Science courses, and from other departments. Dave Chalmers is happy to answer informal inquiries about the program (e-mail dave@cogsci.indiana.edu). More substantial information, administrative details, and brochures describing the program can be obtained by writing to Cathy Barnes, the program secretary, at barnesc@ucs.indiana.edu. The program director is Prof. Richard Shiffrin, shiffrin@ucs.indiana.edu. Applications for admission should go through normal departmental channels, with a copy of application materials being sent to: Admissions Committee Cognitive Science Program Psychology Building Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405.
