Please request an application from Beverley Walton by emailing her at bwalton@cogsci.ucsd.edu.
Address: Use your current mailing address. In-residence students should also list a campus address and email address.
Primary Area: Your area of concentration within your home department.
Secondary Area: The area of your secondary specialization. If there is an issue you want to explore that spans several areas, mention it here. Feel free to include more than one area. Students and their advisers submit a secondary area plan of study for approval within six months of acceptance to the program. See the UCSD General Catalog or Cognitive Science brochure for a more detailed description of the secondary specialization.
Statement of Purpose: A general statement of your research objectives and direction in cognitive science (approximately one paragraph). Why would you like to join the interdisciplinary program, and what do you plan to study?
Cognitive Science Instructional Adviser: In addition to your home department adviser, you have a cognitive science instructional adviser until a thesis adviser is named; it is not presumed that your instructional adviser will act as your thesis adviser. Your cognitive science instructional adviser may be any faculty member of the Interdisciplinary Program in Cognitive Science who is in your home department and who agrees to act as your adviser. If you do not find an adviser, you will be advised by the member of the Instructional Committee from your home department. Current members are:
| Anthropology | Katerina Semendeferi |
Philosophy | William Bechtel |
|
| Communication | Carol Padden | Psychology | Vic Ferreira | |
| Computer Science | Gary Cottrell | Sociology | Akos Rona-Tas | |
| Linguistics | Robert Kluender | Director | Gary Cottrell | |
| Neurosciences | Andrea Chiba |
Adviser's Signature: Only in-residence students must obtain signature.
IN-RESIDENCE STUDENTS ONLY: Mail a copy of the UCSD application, Statement of Purpose, and GRE scores submitted to your home department when you first entered UCSD. Also attach a copy of your current transcript.
