Computer Science courses
Approved electives from computer science are listed below.
Students are required to take:
- One (1) approved course for to complete the “breadth” requirement (see table below)
- Two (2) additional courses if intending to fulfill a “depth” requirement in computer science
- All courses approved as breadth courses can alternatively be applied to the depth requirement
Students may request approval of a course not on this list by submitting a proposal and rationale to the Cognitive Science Program Coordinator.
COMPUTER SCIENCE
Courses marked with an asterisk (*) may be used to satisfy either the Disciplinary requirement or the Formal Foundations requirement, but not both.
Students who wish to take courses marked with double asterisks (**) must make the complete their final assignments on a topic relevant to cognitive science.
