The individualized major in cognitive science, which is
administered through the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science (RuCCS), offers
an opportunity for exceptional, creative, self-motivated students to explore
innovative and multidisciplinary approaches to the study of the foundational
and computational workings of the mind. The director(s) help students choose a cognitive science faculty member with whom to work and consider the lineup of
courses that is most suitable for a student's interest. Currently, there are 23
jointly appointed faculty advisers and an additional 37 faculty affiliates
housed in various departments. Most play an active role in the life of the center.
