Graduate Minor in Cognitive Science
Proposal form for a Graduate Minor in Cognitive Science(PDF)
Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary study of the mind that incorporates psychological, philosophical, linguistic, biological, and artificial intelligence approaches to how knowledge is acquired, processed and represented in the mind. The graduate minor in Cognitive Science offers a graduate student in any discipline the opportunity to develop a perspective on Cognitive Science that complements the disciplinary focus in the home department. Students acquire an overview of Cognitive Science in the Proseminar in Cognitive Science, Introduction to Cognitive Science, and Survey of Artificial Intelligence. This minor consists of a set of common core courses and a distribution (elective) requirement.
Graduate Minor in Cognitive Science
1. Currently the Graduate School at Ohio State University does not have any general minor requirement or any formal minors program. Minors at the graduate level are required or permitted at the discretion of the individual graduate programs, and practices vary widely. It is intended here to specify what conditions the Cognitive Science faculty at Ohio State believe should be satisfied if a student wishes to say he/she has minored in Cognitive Science. The student’s department may impose its own conditions as well.
2. Every student seeking a graduate minor in Cognitive Science is required to have a Cognitive Science Minor Advisor (CSMA). This individual should be a member of the Center for Cognitive Science, but not a member of the student’s major department.
3. Prior to undertaking a minor program in Cognitive Science, a student should submit a proposed minor program to the Cognitive Science Graduate Committee for approval. Form is attached. It is essential that the student consult his/her Cognitive Science Minor Advisor in constructing the proposed program. (Forms for this purpose are available at the Center for Cognitive Science).
4. It is expected that minimally the CSMA will participate in the student’s general examination by contributing questions for the written exam and participating in the oral exam.
5. A student who satisfies the requirements for the Cognitive Science Graduate Minor will receive a letter from the Center for Cognitive Science so stating.
6. This field of study can also be used in the Graduate School’s One-of-A-Kind program. Contact the Graduate School for further information at 292-6031, or http://www.gradsch.ohio-state.edu/.
Core Courses: All three courses are REQUIRED. In the event one or more courses are not taught during the student’s graduate training, substitutions can be made; these must be approved by the Cognitive Science Graduate Committee: Cog Sci 737 (Proseminar in Cognitive Science), Cog Sci 612 (Introduction to Cognitive Science), CIS 630 (Survey of Artificial Intelligence I: Basic Techniques)
Elective Courses: A minimum of three courses from the Elective Courses list on the following pages is required for the minor. None may be from the student’s major field.
Note: Changes in the list of courses approved for the minor may be made by the Cognitive Science Curriculum Committee. Other changes may be initiated by this committee and should have the endorsement of the Cognitive Science Executive Committee.
This list gives course descriptions and prerequisites as of the 1999/2000 academic year. For additional information on courses and when they are offered, please check the University Registrar’s web-site at: www.ureg.ohio-state.edu/courses/
