The interdisciplinary minor in cognitive science requires a minimum of
18 hours of
coursework, most of which should be at the 300 or 400 level. The minor
is meant to introduce students to the interdisciplinary nature of
cognitive science. There are regulations concerning which courses can
count towards the minor for students in specific areas (see below). In
general, however, the minor is aranged in three tiers. The first tier
involves two courses which we regard as the foundational courses for
this minor. All other courses may be selected from the second tier, or
if so desired, from the third tier. At least three of the courses must
come from the second tier, and these courses must include at least two
disciplines.
