Symbolic, Cognitive, and Linguistic Systems

header-concentrations-2_03

Requirements


Description
The symbolic, cognitive and linguistic systems concentration takes an interdisciplinary approach to the symbolic representation and processing of information. Course work covers three areas: human cognition and theories of mind; philosophy of language and linguistics; and computing and logic. Additionally, the concentration takes an interdisciplinary approach to cognition, computation and meaning. Course work is focused around three thematic areas in order to expose students to the subject matter from a conceptual, empirical and practical point of view: cognitive systems; linguistic systems, and symbolic systems.

Requirements

  • Students must complete a minimum of 18 credit hours including 12 of upper division hours for this concentration.
  • All courses must be completed with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher.
  • Students are encouraged to consult with an academic advisor in the School of Historical, Philosophical & Religious Studies in order to create a cohesive and comprehensive program of study.
  • Since some of the approved courses in each area have special prerequisites, students should plan their certificate course work carefully.
  • * These courses require prerequisites: Undergraduate Philosophy student and a minimum 56 hours completed.
