(Additional caveat: my son started taking cog sci classes at the college he did choose and ended up not liking the discipline as much as he expected — even though he had some experience in high school— and he did switch to a sciences degree. An n of 1, but just wanted to note it.
And different colleges can differ in the Cog Sci degrees between how much emphasis they place on psychology vs neuroscience vs linguistics, for instance , so it’s good to look at that ahead of time if that’s a factor.)
