The Cognitive Science majors, B.A. and B.S., provide a broad knowledge of cognitive science, including language and communication, reasoning, memory, categorization, cognitive modeling, perception and action, philosophical foundations, artificial intelligence, cognitive engineering and cognitive science applications for the business setting.

A degree in Cognitive Science provides in-depth training in research methods, data analysis, modeling and lab-based research, and it provides excellent training for jobs in high-tech companies. It is ideal for students who want to pursue graduate work in cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, computer science and engineering, information sciences and information management, communications, medicine, business, management, law and education.

Students can work with cognitive science faculty members to tailor their own programs of study to emphasize one or two specific areas within cognitive science. Example specializations include behavioral experiments, cognitive neuroscience, computational modeling, decision sciences, linguistics and philosophy of cognitive science.
