CogSci BA Degree Program
home

The Baccalaureate of Arts Degree in Cognitive Science at Oswego is composed of a core set of courses drawn from 6 programs and a flexible ``learning agreement''. The core courses provide students with knowledge of the central methods and questions associated with the field. The learning agreement provides students with an opportunity to engage in an in-depth study of a cognitive science related theme which particularly interests them.

The Cognitive Science B. A. Degree is an Arts and Sciences Major requiring 49-51 semester hours of study.

Core Requirements, 36-38 sh

The grade of C- or better must be earned in all Core courses.

Learning Agreement, 12 sh

A student, along with a faculty member, will devise a learning agreement containing a minimum of 12 semester hours, at least nine of which are at the 300- or 400- level. The proposed agreement is to be submitted to the Cognitive Science Program Faculty Committee and the Cognitive Science Director for approval, typically by the end of the student's sophomore year. The sequence of courses comprising the learning agreement may be from any one of several different departments participating in the Cognitive Science Program.
