<p>Does anyone know how the cognitive science classes/programs are at Duke (like MIT's Brain and Cognitive Science program)? I know there is a certificate in neuroscience, but I was wondering if there was more? Current students pursing cogsci, please reply as well!</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>I know there is a neuroscience concentration within the biology department (I'm considering it myself). You can also look at Program 2 (design your own major). There are definitely a plethora of classes in the bio and psych departments available for you to choose from if you decide to do that.</p>
<p>I know those who study neuroscience and it is quite a strong program. They recently renamed to Psychology department to "Department of Psychology and Neuroscience" to emphasize the shift. There are tons of neuroscience/cog sci courses at Duke within the psychology and biology departments. Getting a BS in biology or psychology makes the most sense, while taking these courses to get the certificate. You need to fulfill the requirements for you major plus 2 core neuroscience courses plus around 5 electives in neuroscience. These are usually cross-listed though so you can fulfill major and neuroscience requirements with the same course I believe. </p>
<p>Here is a listing of neuroscience courses:

<p>yee thank you!</p>
<p>As stated earlier, currently you can major in Biology or Psychology and concentrate in Neuroscience. The certificate is an option too even if you major in something else. </p>
<p>There are talks about Neuroscience becoming its own legit major in a year or two so hopefully that will be an option for your class.</p>
<p>Actually, Neuroscience has just been made a major at Duke and is going to start Fall 2009.</p>
