<p>How are the Cognitive Science/Neuroscience programs at UPenn?
Are they good compared to other schools?</p>
<p>(And what's the difference between the two majors? Is Neuroscience just more biologically oriented?)</p>
<p>There are several majors that are neuroscience related (Cog-Sci, Bio with concentration in Neurosci, Biological Basis of Behavior, Psychology; see [Major</a> Departments & Programs](<a href=“http://www.college.upenn.edu/majors/depts.php]Major”>http://www.college.upenn.edu/majors/depts.php)), and each has a slightly different focus. There’s also joint programs with the computer science department in the engineering school.</p>
<p>Cog-Sci seems to be more computational/linguistic focused, while the bio concentration is obviously more biology-oriented. BBB I would say is a blend of psychology with biology.</p>
<p>Biological Basis of Behavior sounds interesting. What kind of job could someone get with that?</p>
<p>BBB has a lot of premeds, but graduates go on to do lots of things.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of where BBB graduates have gone on to do (think this is the latest, 2010 graduates) [Biological</a> Basis of Behavior](<a href=“http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/college/majors/bibb.html]Biological”>http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/college/majors/bibb.html)</p>
