<p>So-called cognitive science may have little to do with actual biology or chemistry, though there are exceptions. Often, schools well known for cognitive science are known because of their graduate programs. One of the very best undergraduate programs that actually emphasizes biochemistry, etc. is the neurobiology program at the University of Washington. One has to apply to it after one is admitted and proved worthy via college performance. They accept about 48 students a year into the major, I believe.

<p>The University of Chicago does not offer an undergrad major in neuroscience, but does offer a specialization in psychology in neuroscience: <a href="http://psychology.uchicago.edu/academics/undergrad/specialized.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://psychology.uchicago.edu/academics/undergrad/specialized.shtml</a></p>
<p>One can also minor in the Team Science based computational neuroscience. For the truly hard core, one can major in chemistry and minor in computational neuroscience. When combined with the Core requirements this would not be for the faint of heart.</p>
