Cognitive Science
"The cutting-edge nature of the field convinced me to also pursue cognitive science."
Michael Zlatkovsky,
Class of 2009
Cognitive science is the general study of intelligence. It seeks to understand how thought processes function, how they might be instantiated in machinery, and how our cognitive initiatives relate to the brain. Researchers in cognitive science work in a variety of areas ranging from artificial intelligence and neurophysiology to cognitive psychology and the philosophy of mind.
Prepare for graduate school—students will learn the fundamentals of perceptual processing, neurophysiology, human cognition, computation and artificial intelligence.
Take a variety of courses such as biology, calculus, computer programming, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and computer science. Additionally, all majors complete an extended, year-long research project in consultation with a faculty advisor.
