The Mind, Brain, and Behavior Program Students interested in addressing questions of neuroscience and cognition from the perspective of computer science may pursue a special program of study affiliated with the university-wide Mind, Brain, and Behavior initiative that allows them to participate in a variety of related activities. Computer Science 181 or 182 must be taken as one of the two additional systems courses. Students pursuing thesis research may want to enroll in Computer Science 91r as a technical elective. The Director of Undergraduate Studies is happy to talk with freshmen about their Plans of Study and to answer questions. When a student enters the concentration at the end of the freshman year, the Director of Undergraduate Studies assigns a professor to serve as the student's faculty adviser.
Every effort is made to match the student's special interests to the expertise of the adviser.
Students should consult their advisers regularly, certainly at the beginning of each semester. When a faculty adviser is on leave, the student is temporarily reassigned to a new adviser. Students desiring a change of adviser for any reason should contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies. The Director of Undergraduate Studies is also available to discuss problems or questions of any kind with students in the concentration. HOW TO FIND OUT MORE Announcements covering academic and nonacademic topics of interest to computer science undergraduates are distributed by email from the Director of Undergraduate Studies or the Academic Office.
