zeph22 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) What is the ranking of the program at U. of Rochester? How good is it in comparison to Rutgers and NYU and Purdue? Referring to the programs, not university per se: U. of Rochester - Brain and Cognitive Science program Rutgers - Cognitive Science PhD NYU - Cognition and Perception PhD Purdue - Mathematical and Computational Cognitive Science PhD Edited January 26, 2014 by zeph22

zeph22 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 From a quick search: U. of Rochester: Ranked #52 national Rutgers: Ranked #67 national NYU: Ranked #16 national Purdue: Ranked #46 national Well, I was referring to the specific programs not the overall ranking. I know overall NYU is a great school... U. of Rochester - Brain and Cognitive Science program Rutgers - Cognitive Science PhD NYU - Cognition and Perception PhD Purdue - Mathematical and Computational Cognitive Science PhD Sorry it wasn't clear before.
linguotherobot Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 "According to the recent National Research Council rankings, the graduate program in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester is ranked as high as 4th nationally among 236 PhD programs in Cognitive Science and Psychology (based on both the S-range and R-range measures). The BCS faculty ranked as high as 3rd nationally for research according to the Faculty Research Activity measure. The complete ranking information can be found at http://www.nap.edu/rdp/. A sortable list of rankings can be found here". This is the welcome text in the Rochester BCS website, so I think it's top 5, actually (probably after Stanford, UCLA, Harvard...)
finally Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 If you're talking about some arbitrary concept based on people's impressions, I couldn't say. If you're talking about the quality of education you receive, it probably depends on what you're looking to study. My mentor, a well-regarded psycholinguist, thinks it's probably #1 for that. Definitely if you were to list, in no particular order, the top 10 currently active psycholinguists in the states, Mike Tanenhaus and Florian Jaeger would be on lots of people's lists. I couldn't be sure, but I doubt any school has 3 and maybe only 1 or 2 others have 2. So... linguotherobot and Human_ 2
