BS Cognitive Science

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Macalester College

Program Overview

Macalester s innovative cognitive science concentration not only draws from the traditional departments, such as computer science, linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, but expands our view of cognitive science to include economics and English. This gives students a more humanistic perspective than other schools. For example, in an interdisciplinary English course, students read science fiction to examine the nature of human cognition. Our interdisciplinary approach means that students engage deeply with the subject matter and apply a variety of frameworks to their studies. The broader our view of cognitive science, the better we can understand how the mind works.
