List
program changes for curriculum revisions:
We wish to make minor
changes in the program requirements for the minor in Cognitive Science due to
changes in available course offerings:
some courses are no longer offered; some relevant new courses are now
available). There are no changes in the Minor in Linguistics) The requirements for the Minor in
Cognitive Science, as they should appear in the catalog, are given here:
MINOR IN COGNITIVE SCIENCE
For more information, contact the Department of Linguistics. Telephone: (302) 831-6806 Website: http://www.ling.udel.edu/cogsci
Cognitive Science studies the computational and representational structure of the mind by combining linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, computer science (especially artificial intelligence), and psychology. Courses for the minor in cognitive science focus on three areas: (1) broad foundational issues in linguistics, psychology, and computing; (2) more specialized issues in mental representation, computation, theoretical linguistics, and epistemology; (3) problems in cognition, data processing, language and formal representation that are related to students’ particular interests.
The minor is administered through the Department of Linguistics. It requires 18 credits, distributed as follows (most of these courses have prerequisites, as listed):
