Your Cognitive Science area of specialization and choice of electives must be approved by the Program Director.
Please submit this form after you have taken COGS UN1001 Introduction to Cognitive Science and have declared your major. You may need to submit this form several times as your interests solidify and you find out which courses are offered each semester: that's fine! Just please re-submit the form if and when your plans change.
Please keep in mind that many advanced courses have prerequisites. If you’re
considering a course as a possible elective you should check whether it has
prerequisites and take that into account as you plan your courses.
IMPORTANT: after you submit this form, your response will be emailed to you (if you don't receive it, check your spam folder!). If you are a Barnard student, please forward that email to cogsci@barnard.edu. If you are a Columbia student, please forward that email to bf2555@columbia.edu. The Program Director will reply and let you know if your specialization and electives are approved or if they have questions or suggestions. If you are including a transfer, study abroad, or summer course at another institution among your electives, you must attach a PDF of the syllabus for the course to your email to cogsci@barnard.edu or bf2555@columbia.edu.
