Note that some Computer Science courses included below under Streams 1 and 2 have unlisted co- or prerequisites. Please consult the Faculty of Arts and Science Course Calendar. Those interested in the Science Major are advised to consider also registering for a Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Specialist (for Stream 1) or a Human Biology Neuroscience Specialist or Major (for Stream 2).
First Year:
CSC108H1;
CSC148H1;
MAT137Y1;
COG250Y1
(may be taken as a corequisite in Year 2)

Fourth Year:Stream 1: Computational Cognition
Computational cognition is the interdisciplinary study of the information-processing underpinnings of cognitive mental processes. It seeks an understanding of cognition in mathematical terms and to apply this understanding to debates in artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and beyond.
No more than 1.5 FCEs of the 3 FCEs required from this list of options may come from any single 3-letter course designator, except for CSC courses. For CSC courses, up to 2 FCEs may be chosen.At least 1 FCE of the 3 FCEs must be at THE 300+-level.CSC207H1; CSC321H1; CSC324H1; CSC384H1; CSC401H1; CSC420H1; CSC485H1; CSC486H1LIN100Y1; LIN228H1; LIN232H1; LIN241H1; 315H; LIN323H1; LIN331H1; LIN341H1; 374H; 471HPHL240H1; PHL245H1/CSC330H1; PHL246H1; PHL345H1; PHL347H1; PHL348H1; PHL349H1; PHL355H1PSY210H1; PSY220H1; PSY230H1; PSY260H1; PSY270H1; PSY280H1; PSY290H1; PSY305H1; PSY309H1; PSY316H1; PSY330H1; PSY331H1; PSY362H1; PSY370H1; PSY371H1; PSY372H1; PSY378H1; PSY379H1; PSY380H1; PSY414H1; PSY425H1; PSY475H1

Stream 2: Cognition and the Brain
Today’s cognitive scientists are more interested than ever before in the way the brain implements the information-processing underpinnings of cognitive mental processes. The study of cognition and the brain is the study, grounded in cognitive neuroscience, of those aspects of brain activity directly relevant to the performance of cognitive functions.
BIO150Y (or BIO120H1 and BIO220H1); and 2 FCEs of the following courses, with at least 1 FCE coming from PSY courses. At least .5 FCE of the 2 FCEs must be at the 300+-level.
