Hello! I am a high school senior who is going to UVA next year. I am currently undecided about my major but I’m very interested in the cognitive science major. Is there anybody on cc who has taken this major and wants to share their experiences?? Specifically:
- How challenging is the coursework?
- How interesting is the coursework?
- What career did you go into/ are looking to go into?
- Would you recommend double majoring/ minoring in another subject as well?? (I’m considering double majoring with economics)
- What should I do beyond succeeding in my classes to make the most of my cognitive sciences education. Are there any societies I should join or research programs that you know of? What about summer programs or internships??
- What type of person tends to succeed in this major??
Thanks in advance for any info!
