FAQ
Cog sci or CS?
Cog sci more interdisciplinary; CS more technical. Pair both if possible — strong combination for ML/AI research.
Career flexibility?
High — touches enough fields that many paths open. Lowest direct path versus most majors.
Graduate school?
Common — leads to PhD in cog sci, psych, neuro, or CS depending on focus.
