![]() ![]() and the Cognitive Science Exchange Program at Linkoping, Sweden, 2019 Find what you’re most passionate about at the end of your four or so years, and you’ll be off to the races.ĬOGS B.A. Throughout all of it, the flexibility of the major will allow you to tailor it to your specific interests, and you should. While you are taking this tour, be sure to always pursue the topics that most interest you, while keeping an open mind to those which may not initially. But this is so valuable as it will allow you to put together the puzzle that is the world around us. You’ll be exposed to a range of issues, discipline and problems, many of which apply beyond the brain. This major is unlike most you’ll see on campus, and is perfect for those big picture, systems type of thinkers. I’m excited to continue this journey!Īdvice: Future student of the best major on campus: congratulations! You stumbled upon one of the best known secrets IU has to offer for those interested in the brain and minds and what they can do. Cog Sci has ultimately given me the broad set of skills and tools to approach this type of multidisciplinary problem, as well has giving me my strong interest not only in our minds, but the minds we may be able to build in AI. There, I will continue my work on learning and memory, bridging empirical research with computational. This allowed me to focus on human-robot interaction (HRI) and work with professors from various departments.Īdvice: learn some programming BEFORE choosing this major, so brush up or get the basics down before classes begin!Īfter I graduate, I will be heading out west to pursue a PhD in neuroscience at the University of California Irvine. CogSci was awesome for allowing me to be able to ride the line between psychology and more computational work. Now that I’m graduating I’m going directly into the PhD program here at IU in Informatics in their intelligent interactive systems track. Never stop asking the answers to the questions you have. There are more connections to be made than realized on the surface. ![]() Constantly asking questions, and having that investigative spirit has helped me to learn about myself and has started me on my current academic path. We are all curious, in this major, and we are experts at finding out the “why” of “things”. Cognitive science helped me to never stop seeking out answers to questions that I have. After I complete that degree track, I will continue my education in graduate school for human computer interaction design, or HCI/d. I will be starting second degree in Nursing after I graduate so that I can become a midwife. I will be graduating with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Cognitive Science with a cognate in psychology, and a minor in human centered computing. I will be completing my current degree in the fall of 2019. I am excited to begin working there this June. My combination of degrees in Computer Science and Cognitive Science made me a competitive candidate for this job. This summer, I will begin working as a Technical Analyst for Capgemini in Seattle. You have so much to learn from all of your peers, be sure to engage!Ĭognitive Science B.S., Computer Science B.S., 2019 Everyone is in the program for the same reason- we're all fascinated with too many subjects and are ecstatic to finally have found a program that allows us to blend our interests. My biggest advice to incoming COGS students is to get close with the extremely diverse COGS cohort. I am currently moving to Israel to start an MA in Linguistics for Clinical Research at Bar-Ilan University.
