This major is available to students starting with the Class of 2002 and all subsequent classes. This major, also known as the Program in Language and Mind, aims to provide students with a working knowledge of a variety of issues that currently occupy the intersection of philosophy, linguistics, and cognitive science.
Students have the option of pursuing either a philosophy track or a linguistics track.
Both require a core set of four subjects drawn from both fields and are designed to teach students the central facts and issues in the study of language and the representation of knowledge.
