<p>I've been interested in Tulane for a while now, and I recently gained interest in cognitive science. Can anyone shed some light at how the cognitive studies major is? Since it combines linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, more specifically, how are those three departments at Tulane? </p>
<p>I am aware that since cognitive studies is a coordinate major, I would have to declare an additional major. Does that major have to be related to cognitive science?</p>
<p>Any helpful information would be most appreciated and I thank those who help in advance. (:</p>
<p>All three are respectable. Cognitive studies is an interesting major that allows you to make a major out of a diverse study in different fields. However, from my understanding, it’s not an actual direct major with major specific courses. Rather, you want to pursue an understanding of the three fields while picking up a major along the way. </p>
<p>You don’t have to have a double major that is in the same field or even same school, eg English with Cognitive Studies. You just need another non-coordinate major to accompany the coordinate one. That said, Tulane also has a respectable Neuroscience department that may be worth a look if you’re interested in cognitive studies.</p>
