Eligible Courses

A list of pre-approved courses is available below. If you would like to count a course that is not in this list, you may submit a petition here.

Courses offered in the 2023-2024 academic year that may be counted towards the Cognitive Science Graduate Certificate are listed in the attached course table.

Please note that although these courses have been approved by the Program, they are not necessarily approved for graduate credit (and therefore may not count toward the certificate or other TGS requirements). Students are responsible for checking in CAESAR to verify their Graduate School approval.
