[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since there appears to be a high school student on the thread, I'll address the OP directly. Although my comment on the CogSci programs of URochester and Case Western was based largely on knowledge of these schools, this site may be of interest:

https://www.collegetransitions.com/blog/best-colleges-for-cognitive-science/

For the undergraduate study of cognitive science, it ranks URochester 12th nationally and Case Western Reserve 26th.

It’s hard to take seriously a list where Swarthmore is ranked in the top 20 and it has a program, not a department, in cognitive science with very few members of the program dedicated to cognitive science. At some point, the disingenuous nature of these posts needs to be called out.

Here’s an accurate source that is about scholarly production and impact in academia, not just some nonsensical parent list: https://scholargps.com/specialties/35745424963533/cognitive-neuroscience

You’ll note that there’s many programs that are far superior to Rochester and Case Western.[/quote]

[b]An opaque ranking system that puts San Diego State University (an R2 if I'm not mistaken) over Michigan is worthless.[/b] SDSU barely has a functional webpage for its Cog Sci department and the faculty are relatively obscure. Rochester on the other hand has a good sized Brain and Cog. Sci department and many of the faculty both national and international leaders in their fields. Case is borderline - very few core faculty.
