The Cognitive Science Academy is an interdisciplinary community engaged in advancing the discovery, dissemination, and application of knowledge in cognitive science. The Academy provides an interdisciplinary approach to understand the processes and representations that are the basis to intelligent actions by building upon the strong academic programs that are already in place in its contributing departments—Psychology, Computer Science, Software and Information Systems, Philosophy, English, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Civil Engineering.

The Cognitive Science Academy is presently sponsoring an NSF REU program "Internships in Cognitive Science ".

The NSF sponsored Web site for the Introduction to Cognitive Science (Psyc/ITCS 3216) is at http://cogsci.uncc.edu.
