Bachelor of Science Psychology - Concentration in Cognitive Science
The Department of Psychology offers the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degrees. The psychology course requirements are identical in these two degree programs, emphasizing training and hands-on experience in the research process centered on a four-course sequence capped by a laboratory in one of six areas of psychology: learning, cognition, development, sensation and perception, behavioral neuroscience, or animal behavior. The B.A. and B.S. degree programs differ in additional course requirements, as described below. Both programs prepare the student for graduate study in psychology.
Psychology majors may declare a concentration in any one of the following seven areas: cognitive science, developmental psychology, forensic psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, mental health, neuroscience and behavior, and school psychology. Each concentration is a minimum of 12 credit hours. A concentration is optional, and only one concentration may be declared.
