I think there are plenty of options at NEU for someone interested in cognitive science. We don’t have it as a major, but a psych or neurobiology major will have the flexibility to focus their studies by taking more cognitive classes. Also, undergrad psych/neurobio majors are super broad. My degree in behavioral neuroscience isn’t going to be much different than a degree in cognitive science. My degree also covers a lot of what a biology degree would, and some of what a psychology degree covers. There are good co-op options for that kind of thing also.

Not to say go to NEU rather than Tufts (well, I say rule out BU, but I’m biased!) but someone looking into “sociology/psychology/neuroscience” should be able to find interesting classes at any school with a large psychology and neuro/biology department.
