Cogs ucsd course offerings series#
Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the other core series yet. The site explains what's going on pretty well. Here's our current course website: Natural Computation II - COGS 118B - Spring 2009 ?(CogSci 118b Spring 2009)?. I'm currently in one of the machine learning classes. Here's links to the materials for his Cogs 1 presentation:,. In general, though, I don't know much about placement I'm planning more on academia than industry. I know that Professor Hollan in particular has very deep ties to industry, and he made a point of mentioning a few people he has placed. You might also check out his lab page: Dcog-HCI Lab. It looks like his website has some good information, and even advertises some research opportunities. Professor Hollan is our main HCI professor. I can point you in a few directions, though. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with the HCI side. I wish I could answer more of your questions about the major. Any general comments on making this decision are also welcome.

I would especially appreciate feedback from anyone who may have experience or knowledge in either the UX field or the Cognitive Science program at UCSD or UCLA.

īasically, I'd like to hear any suggestions on which school I should choose for this major. Which degree would appear better in the eyes of employers? Would they more likely prioritize curriculum relevance to the job over the school reputation or vice-versa? Īdditionally, I haven't been officially accepted into the UCLA major, as I still need to finish some pre-requisites (3-4) to even hope to switch to pre-major status, whereas I was accepted to UCSD as a Cognitive Science major, although I may need to take additional GEs from ERC. I've considered factors such as school reputation, department rankings, major cirriculum relevance (higher priority) and faculty. UCLA does not have it's own Cognitive Science department as instead the major is given by its reputable Psychology Department. The UCLA program, however, does have two required fieldwork courses, which basically involves a research apprenticeship or internship at a private company. UCLA, on the other hand, offers only one course in Artificial Intelligence, CS 161, for its Cognitive Science major, and appears to be more psych centralized (which lies in my interest for the major as well). The undergraduate course offerings also seem to incorporate a wider array of CogSci's interdisciplinary topics but seem to have more courses for the artificial intelligence aspect, which is my primary interest in the major. I know that UCSD has a specialization in Human Computer Interaction which appears to be very much relevant to the UX field and the Cognitive Science department also appears to be the largest among all of the UC campuses. I'm trying to decide which school would be the better choice for Cognitive Science if I decide that I want to try this career field. I'm interested in User/Usability Experience (UX) for post-college plans: Inquiries about the Linguistics Undergraduate Program (specific questions about classes, plans of study, graduate school options, and EAP/OAP class approval) should be directed to the Undergraduate Advisors.I've been doing some research on the major and it seems that the undergraduate curriculum at UCSD is more broad/flexible w/ options (specializations), while the curriculum at UCLA seems to be more focused on traditional psychology courses. Inquiries about language classes should be directed to the Language Program advisors . The undergraduate program introduces majors and non-majors to the scientific study of language in the broader perspective of a liberal arts education.
