The UC San Diego Department of Cognitive Science offers both a B.A. degree and a B.S. It is part of an exceptional scientific community and remains a dominant influence in the field it helped create. UCSD has been at the forefront of this exciting new field and our Department of Cognitive Science was the first of its kind in the world.
Cognitive Science is a diverse field which is unified and motivated by a single basic inquiry: What is cognition? How do people, animals, or computers ‘think,’ act, and learn? In order to understand the mind/brain, cognitive science brings together methods and discoveries from neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and computer science.
