Students may choose from one of two pathways, as well as one of five specializations streams. The first pathway mirrors the offerings of our current program, and culminates in a 4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0year honours thesis. The second pathway offers a coursework alternative to the thesis.<\/p>\n<p>The third pathway, the Bachelor of Cognitive Science (General) degree, is a three-year, 15.0 credit degree that provides the same broad interdisciplinary training as the Honours degree, but without the intensive focus in a particular specialization subject.<\/p>\n<p>More detailed information about the three pathways can be found on our <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/current-students\/undergraduate-3\/forms-and-documents\/\">Forms and Documents<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>Please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.carleton.ca\/programs\/cognitive-science\/\">Cognitive Science Brochure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Questions?
