What are the requirements for cognates, and what are allowed for cognates?
Under the semester system, two cognates are required, a minimum of 12 credits each. At least one cognate must be outside the College of Arts and Letters; the second may be inside or outside. At least one course in one of the cognates must be at the 300- or 400-level. Cognates are normally composed of courses from a single academic discipline, although other logical and interesting combinations are possible, such as interdisciplinary cognates in Women’s Studies, Jewish Studies, Post-Colonial Studies, Classical Studies, etc. Neither one-credit Kinesiology (KIN) courses nor one-credit music activity courses can be used to fulfill cognate requirements. Language proficiency courses cannot be double-counted toward both the language requirement and the cognate. However, students may take more language courses beyond the 200 level to fulfill the cognate requirement, or they may take 100- and 200-level courses in a second foreign language.
