Additional Requirements for the Minor

1. Grades of C or better must be earned in all courses counted toward the minor.

2. No more than 4 credits at the 100-level may be counted toward the minor.

3. At least half of the credits used toward the minor must be at the 300-level or above.

4. No more than half of the credits used toward the minor may be taken from any one department.

5. The same course cannot be used to fulfill both the formal/analytic and elective requirements.

6. Courses taken within a student`s major field of study cannot be used to fulfill the elective requirement unless special permission is granted by the undergraduate program director in cognitive science.

Students who wish to declare a minor in cognitive science should do so either at the same time or after they have declared a major field of study. Either before or immediately after declaring the cognitive science minor, students must take Cognitive Science 201 (01:185:201) and a formal/analytic methods course. Students should be aware that many of the courses listed have prerequisites and not all of the courses are offered each term. Contact the departments that offer courses to learn about prerequisites and course schedules. The Cognitive Science Program Faculty, under the direction of the undergraduate program director, advises students about selection of courses, mentors, and research/independent study projects. Students may petition the undergraduate program director to have alternate courses count as formal/analytic or elective courses.
