Brown University - COGNITIVE, LINGUISTIC & PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCES

Integrating the Study of Mind, Brain, and Behavior   |   Coming July 2010
We are moving forward with the formation of the Department of Cognitive, Linguistic & Psychological Sciences (CLiPS) in July 2010, dedicated to the multidisciplinary study of the mind, brain, behavior, and language. As part of the University's ongoing Plan for Academic Enrichment, CLiPS will be comprised of the current faculties of the Department of Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences and the Department of Psychology, as well as several new hires. Plans are also well underway to house CLiPS in a newly renovated 36,000 sq ft building.(drawing at right).

CLiPS will enhance our three current PhD programs: Cognitive Science; Linguistics; and Psychology. Students entering any of these programs will have access to all current and future CLiPS faculty. Applications for any of the three programs for the 2010-2011 academic year should be made through the Brown Graduate School - materials will be forwarded to the relevant graduate program faculty.

Beyond the exciting prospects for integrated research and training afforded by CLiPS, Brown has a broad and highly interdisciplinary scientific community pursuing a range of related research questions. This excellence is represented by CLiPS’ affiliation with the Brown Institute for Brain Science and its participating departments, including Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychiatry, as well as the Brown Center for Vision Research and the Brown Magnetic Resonance Facility.
