Occidental College, a liberal arts college which enrolls approximately
1600 students, is pleased to announce a new Program in Cognitive
Science. The Program offers an undergraduate major and minor in Cognitive
Science. Faculty participating in this program include members of the
departments of mathematics, linguistics, psychology, and philosophy.
The program is the result of one of the most exciting developments in
higher education today, namely the interaction among philosophers,
mathematicians, psychologists, linguists, and computer scientists. This
interaction is the result of common interests in cognitive science.
Computer architecture is now as likely to be discussed in a philosophy or
psychology seminar as it is in a computer science course. Shared
interests in cognitive science lead to the development and adoption of an
interdepartmental program in cognitive science at Occidental College.
The undergraduate major in Cognitive Science at Occidental College
includes courses in mathematics, philosophy, psychology and linguistics.
Instruction in mathematics introduces students to computer languages,
discrete mathematics, logic, and the mathematics of computation.
Philosophy offerings cover the philosophy of mind, with emphasis on
computational models of the mind, the theory of knowledge, the philosophy
of science, and the philosophy of language. Psychology courses include
basic psychology, learning, perception, and cognition. Courses in
linguistics provide a theoretical foundation in natural languages, their
acquisition, development, and structure.
