Computation and Cognition
Bachelor of Science in Computation and Cognition (Course 6-9)
General Institute Requirements (GIRs)
The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below.
Summary of Subject Requirements | Subjects |
Science Requirement | 6 |
Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement [two subjects can be satisfied by 9.46 and 9.85 in the Departmental Program]; at least two of these subjects must be designated as communication-intensive (CI-H) to fulfill the Communication Requirement. | 8 |
Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement [can be satisfied by 9.01 and 6.1200[J], 18.03, or 18.06 in the Departmental Program] | 2 |
Laboratory Requirement (12 units) [can be satisfied by a laboratory in the Departmental Program] | 1 |
Total GIR Subjects Required for SB Degree | 17 |
Physical Education Requirement | |
Swimming requirement, plus four physical education courses for eight points. | |
Departmental Program
Choose at least two subjects in the major that are designated as communication-intensive (CI-M) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.
