<p>Does anyone know of any colleges with a strong cognitive science program?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Cognitive science is a relatively new, sometimes not well defined, area of study and probably doesn't have any rankings (I have not seen any, and I'm very into cogsci), perhaps due to its very interdisciplinary nature. I can say that Stanford and Berkeley are very strong (Stanford technically has symbolic systems, which is essentially cogsci).</p>
<p>The best method to determine which schools are best in the core areas of cogsci: psychology, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, neuroscience, and social sciences like anthropology. Pay especial attention to linguistics: few schools have it, and many if not most of those that do have poor course offerings. And of course, pay most attention to the areas that you like most.</p>
<p>For rankings, search the site for "gourman [insert discipline name]" -- collegehelp has posted all of the rankings at some point or another. Also, check out:</p>
<p>NRC</a> Rankings in Each of 41 Areas</p>
<p>Based on that, I'd say Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, Michigan, UCLA, Cornell, UC San Diego, and more would all be great choices.</p>
<p>Hey thanks so much!</p>
<p>Those rankings are a decade old. </p>
<p>Anyway, check out UCI:
USNWR ranks their graduate program in behavioral neuroscience 5th, information systems 11th, cognitive psychology 13th, psychology – neurobiology and behavior 16th, experimental psychology 19th, psychology – cognitive science 22nd, sociology 27th, computer science 29th, and psychology and social behavior 47th.</p>
<p>Naturally, you can take whatever combination of classes you want outside your major. They have great programs in linguistics, anthropology, and philosophy too.</p>
<p>UCs, Claremont Colleges.</p>

</p>
<p>And more recent rankings (US News, etc.) aren't much different.</p>
