Overview
Key facts:
- By combining these diverse perspectives, students of cognitive science are able to understand cognition at a deep level. Because this major is administered by the Psychology Department, it focuses on human cognition and the experimental study of the human mind as illuminated by the techniques of the above five disciplines, with an emphasis on computer science forming an important part.
- The heart of the Cognitive Science major is the concentration at the Carnegie Mellon University . Each concentration is designed by the student, in collaboration with their adviser, to customize the major to the student’s own interests. To satisfy the requirements of the concentration, students must take 27 units of coursework (not necessarily from within the psychology department) that are related to a theme or topic central to the field of cognitive science such as artificial intelligence, linguistics, or neuroscience.
