We offer undergraduate B.A. and B.S. degrees in Cognitive Science and an undergraduate minor. Cognitive Science can stand alone as a major, but it is also a great complement to majors in disciplinary fields such as Anthropology, Biological Sciences, Computer Science, Design Arts, Philosophy, and Psychology. The minor in Cognitive Science complements an even wider range of majors and is for any student with an interest in minds, brains, and organic and artificial intelligence.
