The Linguistics and Cognitive Science Department offers a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of language and mind, with a focus on the central role of language in understanding the nature of cognition. The undergraduate major features core courses in linguistics and cognitive science followed by a choice of two tracks: one emphasizing linguistics and the other cognitive science. The curriculum is intercollegiate, offering courses taught at Pitzer and Scripps as well as Pomona, and multi-disciplinary, offering courses in philosophy, music, computer science, psychology and neuroscience.
