xxxx-2-2, Research Applications Seminar (formerly Cognitive Science Practicum)
This course is designed for advanced graduate students pusuing a joint PhD in an approved core discipline and cognitive science. Over the course of a year you will independently create and execute an interdisciplinary research project in cognitive science that integrates at least two areas within the cognitive sciences; e.g., psychology, computer science, linguistics, education, philosophy, speech, language, and hearing sciences. Students will need to get commitments from two mentors from two different departments for their project.
