cognitive science major looking for a list :pray:

[main quarry]

Cornell :)

Also please remove your ecs from the post they can turn this into a chanceme 😭

Lemme read thru tho

Cog sci is very niche; im trying to transfer to a&s to major in it next yr

Yale i believe has cog sci
As does nyu
And vassar college (LAC though)

I think brown tufts, jhu as well (baltimores a bit ugly though)

I think u can def use uc as safety but maybe apply to all or most, including merced and or riverside

Ucsd also has cog sci

I thought

I think u of south cali does as well

That could be a nice option if u like the vibe

Pomona and occidental too

[river violet]

Vanderbilt has a great cog sci program, of course it's in the south but Nashville is a liberal city

[river violet]

ah yes I have heard of the psych stuff, no problem!

[sonic leaf]

Yesss Penn has a dual degree thing for cog sci

If you also like computer science stuff

[novel drift]

CMC?

wait im dumb

wrong claremont college

Here is a list (to add/consider)

California schools:
Reaches: Pomona, USC
Targets: Scripps, UCSD, UCI, UC Davis, UCSB, Occidental
Safeties: USD, UCSC, Santa Clara University

Other schools (all should be in coastal states):
Reaches: Harvard, Williams, Amherst, Yale, Princeton, Colgate U, Duke, Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Columbia
Targets: URoch, Skidmore, Trinity College, URichmond, William & Mary
Safeties: Mount Holyoke

@fiery sparrow rice has a strong cog sci program

[forest lodge]

I mean they offer classes in CS and AI, not sure if they are required but no one stopping you from taking whatever the heck you want here

[heavy kelp]

a double major/dual degree in cog sci and comp sci is really common

theres enough overlap in the two departments that it's a really doable double major

[heavy kelp]

at least at rice, you just apply to one specific school (undergrad majors are split up into different schools, i.e. engineering, humanities, architecture, natural sciences)

not sure you can apply as a double major

but once you're there it is dogshit easy to double major, even across different schools

i have two majors and a minor, each at a different school, and literally all i did to get them was just say "okay i want to do this" and take the classes i need. so easy

and fyi when i say schools i don't mean universities/institutions, i meant those undergraduate "schools" that house different departments

[forest lodge]

You can apply across schools. I mean they ask for three majors, you select the school of your first choice major, like I did math so wiess natural sciences, but my third choice was EE (which is in Brown).

The only ones that are separate are music and architecture

But yeah majoring at Rice is just taking whatever classes that fulfill your major. Though given engineering/CS requirements you shouldn’t try to start them past fall sophomore or you won’t finish

For the BS

[heavy kelp]

oh i don't remember that lmfao

[heavy kelp]

yay ofc lmk if you have any more qs!!
