Which institution is noted as having the only cognitive science department in Canada?

• A. Carleton
• B. University of Toronto
• C. McGill
• D. University of British Columbia

Answer: (A)

A standalone cognitive science department means the field has its own dedicated unit, bringing together faculty and programs from psychology, philosophy, linguistics, computer science, neuroscience, and anthropology under one roof. Carleton University is noted for maintaining such a dedicated Department of Cognitive Science in Canada, which is why it’s identified as the institution in question. Other universities may offer cognitive science as a program or major within other departments (like psychology or philosophy) rather than a separate department, which is why Carleton stands out in this regard.
