Cognitive Science: An intersection of Psychology, Computer Science, and Philosophy
Cognitive Science is a relatively new discipline.
It is a child of the computer age, the cognitive revolution in psychology, breakthroughs in the neurosciences, and the long philosophical traditions of exploring the meaning of knowledge and mind.
The values of Cognitive Science are also strongly congruent with the liberal arts tradition of Trinity University.
Its inter-disciplinary approach offers sets of complementary experiences to students in various disciplines that can augment their understanding of a particular discipline and provide very practical skills for graduate education or the marketplace.
The details of the minor in cognitive science are described in the Bulletin.
Linguistics
Linguistics is the study of the structure and function of language and infra-human communication systems.
This interdisciplinary minor is useful to psychology majors with interests in developmental psychology or psycholinguistics.
