Northwestern’s Cognitive Science BA integrates psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, and philosophy to unravel how minds perceive, learn, and act. Core courses cover neural computation, language processing, decision-making, and AI, while labs equip students to run EEG studies, build cognitive models, or develop behavioral experiments. Collaborative projects with the Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment foster translational research, and machine-learning electives prepare students for data-heavy fields. Graduates excel in UX design, artificial-intelligence ethics, clinical research, and tech innovation.
