Bachelor's Degree
Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary field—our majors can pursue research opportunities across various schools and departments. Those involved in lab work or research projects often find it significantly improves their UVA academic journey. The Cognitive Science BA program requires completing at least 10 approved UVA courses totaling 30 credits, meeting all major requirements. Students may apply up to two pre-approved study abroad courses (6-8 credits) toward elective requirements. Only the Calculus prerequisite can be satisfied through test or transfer credits, which don't contribute to the 30-credit degree requirement.
