Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Psychology] From University of Colorado

Our distinguished faculty also teach specialized upper-division courses in behavioral genetics, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, child development, social psychology, and judgment and decision making.

A concurrent BA/MA in psychology with a specialization in cognitive psychology is offered. Both the BA and MA degree must be completed within a five-year period. In recent years, both basic and applied research in cognitive psychology have come to rely increasingly on related findings, theories and methods in other cognitive science disciplines, including philosophy, computer science and linguistics.

The purpose of this degree program is to provide training that prepares students either for continuing doctoral study in cognitive psychology or for technical careers involving cognitive psychology in government and industry. Students complete the requirements for an undergraduate major in psychology, an interdisciplinary undergraduate certificate in cognitive science and a master's degree in the cognitive psychology graduate training program. Because of the demanding nature of this program, only highly qualified students are admitted.
