Interdisciplinary Concentration in Cognitive Science

Cognitive science is the empirical exploration of intelligent systems. It is, by its very nature, an interdisciplinary science combining results from anthropology, biology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. It challenges students to be knowledgeable in a wide variety of fields and techniques. Cognitive science explores human, animal, and mental processes at the level of the neuron, the central nervous system, the behavior of individuals, the evolution and structure of communication and culture, as well as artificial intelligence computation, and the theory of knowledge. It is the most rapidly growing interdisciplinary arena in colleges and universities. Learn more »
