As one of the few genuine departments of cognitive science in the world, we offer unique and exciting opportunities for students to focus on the scientific study of mind, brain, and intelligence. Staffed by a core of cognitive-science oriented psychologists, philosophers, and computer scientists, the department complements Rensselaer's traditional strengths in science, engineering, and technology, and is widely regarded as a leader in the area of computational cognitive modeling. We offer a highly selective PhD program in Cognitive Science, and BS programs in both Psychology and Philosophy. Faculty research interests include computational cognitive modeling, artificial intelligence, human and machine reasoning, computational linguistics, perception and action, theoretical neuroscience, cognitive robotics, cognitive engineering and advanced synthetic characters. The flexible requirements for this program allow students to complete dual majors that combine philosophy with a major in another field, such as mathematics, computer science, cognitive science, or one of the natural sciences. Whether working toward a bachelor's degree in philosophy alone or toward a dual degree, students must complete at least 32 credit hours of work in philosophy or in related areas approved by their adviser. Critical thinking and logical reasoning in producing, analyzing, or evaluating ideas and arguments. the ability to describe accurately, compare, and evaluate key features of a variety of approaches, ideas, and philosophers across the history of philosophy. the ability to solve real-world problems using logical reasoning, development of concepts and ideas, and clear communication skills.<br>A degree in philosophy provides a solid foundation for careers and graduate studies in law, medicine, journalism, artificial intelligence, and more.
