Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary area of scholarship concerned with understanding the nature and development of such intelligent capacities as perception, language, reasoning, planning, problem solving, and related skills, whether these capacities are instantiated in biological or artificial systems. The goal of the cognitive science minor is to provide a structured way for undergraduates to study and carry out research in cognitive science with guidance from faculty members in the cognitive science center. Any undergraduate may pursue a minor in cognitive science, regardless of his or her major. The interdisciplinary cognitive science minor is likely to be of particular interest to undergraduates majoring in fields that are directly related to cognitive science (e.g., computer science, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, biological sciences, mathematics, statistics, biomathematics, communication, biological anthropology, and engineering). For additional information about the cognitive science minor, call the Rutgers University Center for Cognitive Science (RuCCS) at 732-445-0635; send email to undergrad@ruccs.rutgers.edu, or consult the cognitive science undergraduate webpage at http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/ruccs/academics_uminor.php.
