Cognitive Science (HBA) is an Honours Bachelor of Arts Major program offered through University College at the University of Toronto St. George campus, with five streams: Language and Cognition, Perception and Attention, and Thinking and Reasoning (Arts); and Computational Cognition and Cognition and the Brain (Science). The field studies how the mind processes information, drawing on cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and computer science depending on the stream chosen. Language and Cognition examines how language is represented and processed in the mind and brain and how it shapes thought and communication; Computational Cognition is the interdisciplinary study of the information-processing underpinnings of cognitive mental processes. Each stream requires 8.0 credits in total, with course sequences that vary by stream. Enrolment is limited: students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet stream-specific prerequisite course requirements, with a minimum grade average in those required courses that is set annually.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six subjects at the 4U/M level, including English (ENG4U/EAE4U); the co-op component of Grade 12 courses is not used for admission. Enrolment into the program (Language and Cognition, Perception and Attention, Thinking and Reasoning, Computational Cognition, or Cognition and the Brain) is limited: applicants must have completed 4.0 credits including the stream's required courses, and meet an annually-set minimum grade average in those courses (a final grade average below 70% in the required courses is generally not considered).
