Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The department offers a cognitive and behavior science major leading to either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. The choice of degree program should be determined after consultation with a member of the department. Both degree programs emphasize research methodology and would be appropriate for students interested in pursuing graduate study in cognitive and behavioral science or allied fields. The B.S. program places greater emphasis on STEM curriculum and research training than does the B.A. program.

HONORS: An Honors Program in cognitive and behavioral science is offered for qualified students; see department head for details no later than the winter term of the sophomore year.
