专业概况

在这里学什么？

The joint major in Philosophy & Neuroscience enables students to employ cutting-edge work in the sciences to address seminal questions in philosophy. The major provides a solid foundation in both disciplines with an interdisciplinary focus on understanding the mind. Through rigorous training in both philosophy and neuroscience, students gain the knowledge and skills required for in-depth exploration of fundamental questions concerning human nature. What is mind? What is consciousness? And how do they emerge from the intricate interplay of chemicals and electricity? The joint degree will appeal especially to students who expect to pursue graduate study in the cognitive or neurosciences, law school, medical school, education, public policy, communication, public health, or who generally enjoy asking both big and small questions that inform one’s own personal growth.

Learning Outcomes

Students completing the Philosophy & Neuroscience program are expected to:

Demonstrate the conceptual ability and communication skills needed to comprehend and investigate the central philosophical issues in neuroscience and philosophy of mind. Demonstrate mastery of the fundamentals of neuroscience spanning the breadth of the field, from the theoretical to the experimental, and across multiple levels of analysis. Demonstrate competency in evidence-based reasoning and experimental design—for example, identifying manipulated and measured variables, measurement metrics, experimental controls, power, validity, and reliability. Demonstrate skills of critical and analytical thinking, as expected for majors in Philosophy.
