Cognitive Science

About

Overview Our approach to balancing these competing demands is the structure of the major divided into four tracks, each representing a major area of research within contemporary cognitive science. The tracks provide focus and cohesion in the four content areas, while simultaneously fostering interdisciplinary inquiry through multiple levels of analysis. Thus, each track consists of a coherent, integrated and focused program of coursework that concomitantly integrates perspectives from multiple disciplines.The Cognitive Science major has three components. The University of Michigan students must receive a minimum letter grade of C or better in all courses counting towards the major.Introduction to Cognitive Science Course (Gateway Course; 3 credits)Track-Specific RequirementsPrerequisites (depend on track and electives; typically 4-6 courses or 12-18 credits)Three required courses (9-12 credits)Five elective or "depth" courses chosen from a track-specific list (15-20 credits)The set of required and elective courses must be drawn from three different departments.Senior Capstone Course (The Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science Undergraduate Committee will identify capstone courses in the Fall and Winter terms for graduating students. The selected capstone courses vary by semester.) I want to find another Bachelor Course

A Cognitive Science curriculum offered at the University of Michigan balances two, potentially conflicting considerations. First, cognitive science is inherently multidisciplinary. Second, an optimal learning experience brings expertise in a sufficiently focused area in which students engage with key questions, and gradually deepen their knowledge and understanding.
