The Symbolic Systems Program (SSP) focuses on computers and minds: artificial and natural systems that use symbols to represent information. SSP brings together students and faculty interested in different aspects of the human-computer relationship, including...
Symbolic Systems' affiliated faculty come from several departments at Stanford University, including Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy,
Psychology, Communication, and Education. Our students are exposed to the
tools of these disciplines -- formal methods, philosophical analysis,
computer programming, and empirical research -- with the aim of being able
to apply the appropriate tool(s) to a chosen area of specialization. SSP
alumni are found in various occupations, including software design and applications, teaching and research, law, medicine, and public service. Welcome alums!
