Cognitive Science Program Forms

Cognitive Science Major Requirements Form

Please submit this form early in your final semester before graduation.  We will use this form for reference when we check that your requirements are completed for graduation certification.  

If you wish to use this form to track your requirements through your studies, you are free to do so; you can submit this form as many times as you like.  If you're not sure of your plans for a particular requirement, you can put "TBD".   Just make sure that you submit the final version of the form, with the details of your requirements completed, at least 60 days before your graduation.

Cognitive Science Specialization and Electives Approval Form

Your Cognitive Science area of specialization and choice of electives must be approved by the Program Director. The Program Director will consult with a faculty member who has expertise in your area of specialization before approving your specialization and electives. (Unfortunately, if there is no faculty member at Barnard or Columbia who has expertise in your chosen area, then you must choose another area.)
 
Please resubmit this form if your plans change in any way.
 
Please also 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.

Cognitive Science Course Credit Form

Please use this form if you wish to request that a Barnard or Columbia course which is not already on the Cognitive Science course list be counted towards your Cognitive Science major requirements.

Please note that you do not need to fill out this form for electives.  Your area of specialization and choice of electives must be approved by the Program Director (please see the Cognitive Science Specialization and Electives Approval Form), and any Barnard or Columbia course may be counted as an elective with the program director's approval, regardless of whether it is on the list or not.

After you fill out this form, your response will be emailed to you.  Please forward that email with subject "Cognitive Science Course Credit Request Form" to Maia Bernstein at mbernste@barnard.edu; please attach a PDF of the syllabus to the email.

We'll have decisions on requests submitted by the first of each month by the first of the following month (so, for instance, if you submit the form and the syllabus by October 1, we'll have a decision for you by November 1). Please note that your submission is not complete until we have received the syllabus.

Cognitive Science Transfer and Study Abroad Credit Approval Form

Please fill out this form for each transfer or study abroad course which you would like to count towards your Cognitive Science major requirements.
 
Please note that if you wish to count a transfer or study abroad course as an elective in your area of specialization then you must first submit this form and the syllabus for approval.  If the course is approved, then you must include it when you submit the Cognitive Science Specialization and Electives Approval Form.
 
After you have completed this form, your response will be emailed to you.  Please forward that email with subject "Cognitive Science Transfer Credit Approval Form" or "Cognitive Science Study Abroad Credit Approval Form" to Maia Bernstein at mbernste@barnard.edu; please attach a PDF of the syllabus for the course to the email.
 
We'll have decisions on requests submitted by the first of each month by the first of the following month (so, for instance, if you submit the form and the syllabus by October 1, we'll have a decision for you by November 1).  Please note that your submission is not complete until we have received the syllabus.
 
Please note that your school (BC, CC, or GS) must have approved the course to count towards your degree requirements before the course can be considered for Cognitive Science major requirements.
