When I was there three years ago U. Mass. (Amherst) had an aggressively interdisciplinary approach to Cognitive Science, involving the Computer Science (COINS), Linguistics, Psychology, and Philosophy departments. While there was no single department and no degree, there was active encouragement for students to take courses in the other departements, and many advanced seminars were co-lead by faculty of several departments. I don't know the status of things now, especially since Michael Arbib, a chief architect of that approach, has gone on to USC in LA. -- Jeff Conklin MCC Software Technology Program (512) 338-3562 conklin@MCC.arpa ut-sally!im4u!milano!conklin
