Cognitive, linguistics, and psychological science department at Brown University is the youngest program on this list. It was established in 2010 with the aim of providing an interdisciplinary approach to studying the mind, brain, behavior, and language. Undergrads choose between four concentrations – cognitive neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, and psychology. Those who opt for psychology as a major are expected to complete courses in Introductory Psychology, Quantitative Methods, and Laboratory work, as well as courses in areas such as Perception & Cognition, Comparative/Physiological, and Social/Personality/Developmental psychology. Depending on whether they pursue A.B. or Sc.B. degree, students need to complete a number of elective courses and a research project. PhD students are admitted to the program as a whole and choose one of three major areas after the first year. Those who decided to focus on psychology are granted financial aid for five years, and they can also apply for student stipend. Grad students participate in research projects, seminars, teaching, and career development programs.
