This challenging yet approachable scientific field combines elements of cognitive psychology, computer science, and neuroscience to investigate how the mind and brain function.
Students can pursue either a BA or BS in brain and cognitive sciences. Both programs share a core curriculum that blends biological, behavioral, and computational methods for studying perception, language, cognition, learning, and development.
