An undergraduate emphasis in Cognition can prepare students for advanced degrees and careers in medicine, research, education, government, and more. Cognitive science is the study of how the brain represents, transforms, and processes information. Students seeking a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with a Cognition emphasis complete their study within the College of Science's School of Mind, Brain, and Behavior. This major provides students with a broad interdisciplinary foundation while allowing them to choose an emphasis that suits their interests. The Cognition focus encompasses cognitive functioning, development, and disorders across the areas of decision-making, reasoning, attention, perception, memory, language, and consciousness. Undergraduates engage in faculty research and prime themselves for graduate studies and professional careers.
