Program details

Overview

Cognitive Science studies mental abilities including perception, action, memory, thought, speech and language, and how they develop and evolve. Methods include experiments, computational modeling and brain imaging. Students may earn an A.B. or an Sc.B. Concentrators gain knowledge in perception, cognition, language and computational approaches, plus research methods, and then design their own focus area. They may combine departmental coursework with fields like computer science, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, math or education. The A.B. suits students interested in human mental processes and a research orientation. The Sc.B. is for those wanting a stronger background and requires a specific research project in their focus area. Registering for a gateway course early is recommended. Requirements, course listings and advising arrangements are set out on the program's page at Brown, and applicants should read it alongside the sponsoring unit's own site.
