Note:В The CBS steering committee strongly recommends that CBS majors, especially those seeking a greater emphasis in the computation side of Cognitive Science, also takeВ Computer Science 61 or Math 61 as many (but not all) upper level Computer Science courses require both 15 and 61 as prerequisites. Psychology 195: Senior Seminar in Cognitive & Brain Science (Please note: PSY 195 meets in the fall semester only).Computer Science 11:В Introduction to Computer Science.Psychology 64В (cross listed as Philosophy 15/Linguistics 15):В Introduction to Linguistics.Psychology 31: Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences (or one of: BIO 132, CEE 6/CH 136, CEE 156, CSHD 140).Psychology 9:В Introduction to Cognitive and Brain Sciences.Psychology 1:В Introduction to Psychology.The second signature on that degree sheet will come from a representative of that department, not from Psychology. Please note that CBS majors with an advisor from a department other than Psychology should follow that department's policies for completing the senior degree sheet paperwork.Students are encouraged, after consultation with their advisor, to augment the Cognitive and Brain Science major by taking electives in Psychology, Anthropology (150), Biology (13, 14, 116, 134), and Math (11, 12, 13, 121).Planning for such projects should begin by the end of junior year. In addition to the required courses, Cognitive and Brain Science majors are encouraged to complete a senior research project which entails either (a) completing an honors thesis in Psychology, Child Study and Human Development, Computer Science, or Philosophy (b) completing a year-long research experience with a faculty member in one of these departments or with a faculty member in the Neuroscience Department of the Medical School or (c) completing a faculty-supervised review paper of the literature on a particular issue within one of these areas.Students may substitute Child Study and Human Development 1 for PSY 1 for prerequisite purposes, but they must take an additional psychology course in order to reach the 14 courses required for the major. In other words, the student earns 3 semester-hour credits and does not need to take PSY 1 for the major. Students scoring 4 or 5 on the Psychology AP exam, 6 or 7 on the International Baccalaureate (Higher Level) exam, or A or B on the GCE A-level exam earn credit for PSY 1.

Unless specified otherwise, courses counted towards the major must be at least three (3) semester-hour credits. A total of fourteen courses are required for the CBS major.Learning Objectives ProgramВ Requirements and Policies Students majoring in Cognitive and Brain Science usually receive a Bachelor of Science degree. A Cognitive and Brain Science degree provides an excellent preparation for careers in the sciences, computer fields, health professions, law, and education. Cognitive and Brain Science (CBS) is an inherently interdisciplinary area, drawing on psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy of mind, computer science, and biology.
