DE students will be required to take three courses: one to fulfill a computational requirement, and two to fulfill a breadth requirement. Courses that fulfill these requirements are listed below. Students will have to meet the prerequisites for the specific classes they wish to take. Although it is not an official requirement, DE students will also be encouraged to regularly attend and participate in the Institute for Cognitive and Sciences colloquia.
Computational cognitive science requirement
- One course chosen from following list. *Note: some courses below, particularly those in computer science (COMPSCI), are in high demand, with preference going to department students. Please plan accordingly.
COG SCI 131. Computational models of cognition. *Note: Qualified DE students can fulfill the computational requirement by GSIing for Cognitive Science 131 rather than taking it, if they apply and are offered a position.
