Thanks very much to all who responded to my request for information on PhD
programs in Cognitive Science. As promised, here is a summary of the
information I received. Note that while all of these universities have
Cog Sci programs, they do not all offer PhDs in Cog Sci.
Please inform me of any errors in this summary and of any programs that have
been left out.
