The Institute of 认知科学 Academic Program includes a combined 博士学位 degree between cognitive science and a core discipline, as well as a combined 博士学位 plan of study tailored for students interested in cognitive neuroscience. These programs are administered by CU Boulder's Institute of 认知科学 (ICS).

Graduate students in cognitive science are admitted to graduate programs in participating departments that have ICS faculty, and must meet the requirements for admission and degree completion in their home department. 

学生 enrolled in graduate programs from other departments may request approval to participate.
