Carleton’s Bachelor of Cognitive Science (Honours) program is a 20.0 credit Degree, designed to be completed in four years of full-time study. A 15.0 credit degree is also available and can be completed in three years of full-time study. The Honours program consists of three elements: a core of courses from Cognitive Science and associated disciplines, an area of specialization chosen from the five possible areas, and optional courses you select according to your interests.

Researchers in our program (students and faculty members) study the mind by combining the methods and theories of five disciplines: psychology, philosophy, linguistics, neuroscience and computer science. This interdisciplinary approach allows unique insights into human understanding, thought, perception, language and emotion.
