The course work that makes up the undergraduate program combines course offerings in the Department of Cognitive Science with courses in a number of other departments. These courses are divided into five areas of concentration, described below, and students are expected to acquire at least some familiarity with each of these areas.

While allowing enough flexibility to offer an exposure in some depth to a student's primary area(s) of interest, the interdisciplinary major in Cognitive Science is also intended to provide the broader perspective necessary to situate particular research disciplines within the overall study of the mind/brain.

Most of the courses which fulfill the requirements for the five areas of concentration are listed below. However, please note that new courses may be added, and that some of the courses listed under each concentration are not offered every year. For up to date information, consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Badecker.

1. Area A: Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuropsychology
2. Area B: Linguistics
3. Area C: Computational Approaches to Cognition
4. Area D: Philosophy of Mind
5. Area E: Neuroscience
