The Department of Cognitive Science will offer a PhD in Cognitive
Science  beginning  fall  quarter, 1989. The core curriculum will
emphasize  the  theoretical  and  empirical  study  of  cognitive
phenomena,  the  neurological  basis  of cognitive processes, and
computational modeling.

Application deadline for fall quarter, 1989:  January 15, 1989.

GRE:  Verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections required.

Jolla, CA 92093 (619-534-6771) (email: lkeith@ucsd.edu).


The Group in Cognitive Science will continue to offer a joint PhD
program  wherein  a  student  enters a home department affiliated
with   cognitive   science   (Anthropology,   Computer   Science,
Linguistics, Neurosciences, Sociology, Philosophy, or Psychology)
and, after a year of study in that  department,  applies  to  the
Interdisciplinary  Program  in  Cognitive  Science as well.  This
program leads to a PhD  in  the  home  department  and  Cognitive
Science.   Contact  the  relevant home department for application
