Enhance understanding of the human mind

Few fields are as rapidly advancing—or cross as many disciplinary boundaries—as neuroscience and cognitive science. In expanding and strengthening these programs, the College of Arts and Sciences seeks to attract nationally recognized faculty members with expertise in a broad range of fields contributing to understanding the mind, brain, and behavior. With global recognition in areas such as autism research and clinical services, behavioral psychology, mindfulness, and health disparities, our bold ambitions are to expand our programming and intensify our research efforts to accelerate the pace of discovery and promote well-being for all.
