The outline of the proposal is presented first, followed by lists of existing, or proposed courses, in each category. Recommended frequency, in years, for each course is indicated in parentheses. For e.g., (2) indicates every 2nd year. Course marked with * are proposed new courses. Courses marked with # are proposed new required courses. Note that a single course cannot satisfy more than one requirement. For e.g., if Computational Models of Cognition I, is used to satisfy a Cognition & Perception requirement, it cannot also satisfy the Neuroscience requirement, and vice versa.
