Carleton University provides an independent PhD program in Cognitive Science. This rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum bridges humanities, social sciences, and scientific disciplines to examine mental processes. Participants complete terms in two distinct research settings, employing varied methodological approaches to cognition (including behavioral analysis, linguistic theory, computational modeling, conceptual frameworks, and neuroscientific techniques). The program facilitates off-campus research possibilities.
