This orientation session is open to all new听cognitive science students.听 This includes all U0 and U1 students who have declared, or are interested in declaring Cognitive Science as their major, and also for any returning students who have just joined the program.

Come join us for a fun and interactive session!听 We will go over some of the basics about the program and then have a Q&A panel of upper year students, as well as the Cognitive Science Program Director and the Program Advisor.听 There will be plenty of time to ask questions and chat one on one.听 We hope to see you there!

Orientation Materials

For help in planning your U1 courses, see video explanations below from the former Cognitive Science Program Advisor, Ryan Bouma.听听(Subtitles are available on each video).

New Students:听听All students must fulfill the Foundation program (Freshman) requirements (with the except of those admitted with a Quebec CEGEP Diploma). Please consult the BA&Sc First Year Course requirements听and consult with the BA&Sc degree advisor for any questions about the Foundation program.听

The videos below are intended for students that have completed some of the required first year U0 curriculum听already via advanced standing or transfer credits.听 The videos will be helpful in understanding the different streams in cognitive science and their prerequisites.听 This can help a first year student to determine which of the foundation math and science courses to prioritize.听 In some cases a new student could start taking some of the core courses from cognitive science in first year if they have room in their schedule.听 It is recommended to discuss the BASC program options and your interests with听the BA&Sc degree advisor听first.听听
