Cognitive science combines approaches from natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to explore how the mind works. Our undergraduate program helps students build expertise and abilities that address significant societal issues while enabling them to blend diverse interests (like combining music with mental wellness, physics with dance, or theater with psychology).
This interdisciplinary field scientifically examines the mind through various academic lenses. Drawing from cognitive neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science, it creates comprehensive theories of cognition that transcend single-discipline boundaries. Case Western Reserve University's program emphasizes uniquely human cognitive abilities. The adaptable curriculum allows students to merge multiple perspectives when investigating mental processes.
Our Cognitive Science Department provides a customizable program where students can meet major requirements through courses across numerous disciplines.
