<p>I know it is easier to double major if you start your planning early, so what would be better/ most useful. I am very interested in both, although i have never taken high level classes in either so i cant really know yet. But i am going to graduate in 4 years, i dont want to go over at all. With the math double major if i am not going to finish i can always get a minor, where there is no cog sci minor. Any input appreciated</p>
<p>Applied math is going to be a lot more useful than cog sci, at least in my opinion. I don’t think there’s too much a cog sci major can do that a CS major can’t.</p>
<p>Well from what i have read cog sci paired with cs can give CS students an edge on jobs like UI’s, robotics and things of that nature. I am not trying to argue with your opinion, i appreciate the input. Just putting more information out there. I also agree that math will probably be more usful thou</p>
<p>Maybe you can double in CS/applied math and then take a few cog sci courses on the side that would help out your interest in UI’s/robotics/etc.</p>

</p>
<p>For UI, you can include CS 160 in your CS courses. For robotics, consider Bioengineering C125 / EE C125. Of course, you can also take CS 188 in your CS courses. And you can take whatever Cognitive Science courses you find interesting as breadth or elective courses without needing to do an entire Cognitive Science major.</p>
<p>However, a CS major wanting to cover the most important concepts used in industry software jobs will include CS 170, CS 162, EE 122, CS 169, CS 186, CS 161 as well.</p>
