Articulation Agreement by Major
Effective during the 08-09 Academic Year
Based on the 08-09 UC Transfer Course Agreement
====Cognitive Science B.S. with Specialization in Human Cognition====
DATED MATERIAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PLEASE CONSULT CURRENT UCSD GENERAL
CATALOG FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Special Advising Note:
Transfer students are strongly advised to complete as many preparatory courses
soon as possible for their major before enrolling at UC San Diego. Preparing
well for the major helps students move efficiently toward graduation.
Cognitive science is a young and diverse field which is unified and motivated by
a single basic inquiry: What is cognition? How do people, animals, or computers
'think', act, and learn? In order to understand the mind/brain, cognitive
science brings together methods and discoveries from neuroscience, psychology,
linguistics, philosophy, and computer science. UCSD has been at the forefront
of this exciting new field and our Cognitive Science Department was the first of
its kind in the world. It is part of an exceptional scientific community and
remains a dominant influence in the field it helped create. In addition to
preparing undergraduates for careers in a variety of sciences, the major also
provides an excellent background for many professional fields, including
medicine, clinical psychology, and information technology.
Students must take 16 UC quarter units of Math chosen from the following:
Math 10ABC, Math 20ABCDEF, CSE 20, CSE 21, Math 11. For more information, please
