The Cognitive Behavioral concentration examines the biological mechanisms underlying thought, emotion, and behavior. Through the study of how the brain and nervous system support processes such as learning, memory, attention, decision-making, and pain perception, you’ll develop an understanding of the neural systems that shape human cognition and behavior. This interdisciplinary approach builds critical-thinking, analytical, and research skills while preparing you for a variety of career paths and further study in neuroscience, psychology, healthcare, research, and related fields.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
