The main objective of the discipline of Cognitive Science is to provide a framework for bringing all the many disciplines that study the mind together into a cohesive whole. Students in our program draw on psychology, linguistics, computer science, philosophy, neuroscience, and anthropology, among other fields, to illuminate how the human mind works, and why it works the way it does. Many influential ideas within cognitive science originated at Berkeley. The program draws on over forty affiliated faculty from a variety of departments, and is closely integrated with cognitive science research efforts across the campus.
Due to the recent COVID 19 surge, the Cogsci advising office will be delivering services entirely remotely until further notice. The CogSci advising office has developed a new hybrid model to deliver services to students in-person, remotely, by appointment, and drop-in, and in various time zones. We hope to return to that model once it is safe to do so.
To make an advising appointment, students should use the CalCentral advising tool.
Per the recent announcement from L&S, the Cognitive Science program will be accepting PNP grades for all major requirements through Summer '21. This includes pre-requisites.
