Since degrees in Cognitive Systems already have an interdisciplinary character, we typically discourage students from attempting to take them as part of a double major. Students should also think carefully before attempting to combine a COGS degree with a minor in another discipline, with particular attention to the following consideration:
There are limits to how many upper-level credits can count towards two specializations (whether this is a double major, or a major and a minor). Different limits apply depending on your faculty (be sure to check the UBC Calendar for Arts limits and Science limits). If there is a lot of overlap between the courses required for both specializations (note: this includes ALL COGS module courses), you may need to take additional courses (which could delay your graduation).
COGS students who wish to attempt a double major or a minor should do so only having first discussed with the COGS Advisor the way in which these difficulties will be negotiated in their particular case. They will also need to speak with Arts and/or Science Advising to review potential course overlap between the specializations.
The COGS program does not offer minor specializations.
The COGS program does not offer Honours specializations.
