The following are some of the courses that have been approved for Cognitive Science majors. This should not be thought of as an exhaustive list. These courses may or may not be offered each semester. Please note that even if a course was approved in the past it does not guarantee that the same course will be approved for current or future semesters. Please check the Current Approved Courses page to see which courses are approved for the current or upcoming semester. These approved courses change each semester and are posted as soon as CogSci is notified by each area department. Please contact the Program Coordinator if you have any questions about past or current courses.
