ADVISING

Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of the Cognitive Science major and the diversity of potential pathways through the coursework, advising is a significant element of this program. Before commencing with the major, interested students will meet with the Program Coordinator, Prof. Melinh Lai (melinh@uchicago.edu) to discuss their particular areas of interest and map out a path to complete the requirements. Examples of potential paths through the major can be found on the Major page.

In preparation for this introductory meeting, students should fill out and submit the advising form on this page.
