Can you argue these sets of courses constitute a cognitive science major?

I'm an economics major who, six years into the job world, is still interested in cognitive science and linguistics, and to a lesser extent, computer science. I read up on Steven Pinker even before going to college, being somewhere in the middle of Asia and in a non-English speaking environment. Alas, since I wanted something that guaranteed a job, I took up economics. I'd never imagined the day that statistics, computer science, and cognitive science would bring about the next revolution akin to the computer revolution. So in the mid to long term I'm thinking of taking up computer science only, or in tandem with some form of cognitive science. The problem is my training -- the following courses definitely display I was interested in something related to cognitive science but I could not bring my focus onto it. 

Introduction to Neuroscience (Neuroscience), Brain Damage and the Mind (Psychology), Social Psychology (Psychology), Personality (Psychology), Theory of Organizational Dynamics (Sociology), Philosophy of Language (Philosophy), Logic (Philosophy), Epistemology (Philosophy), Introduction to Econometrics (Economics), Econometrics I (Economics), Art in Antiquity (Archaeology), Mediterranean Bronze Age (Archaeology)

My everyday daydreams include :

1. I want to draw a map of the brain ! (has this already been done?)

2. I want to understand how thinking is done on a neurological basis. 

3. I want to re-program myself...

P.S. Meanwhile, I'm also applying to top 10 MBA programs(got waitlisted to one) and to McBain consulting jobs, but anyways.

I'm not sure I followed the question. You can argue whatever you want. The question is how convincing you'll be (and for that matter, who your audience is and what your goals are in doing so). That depends on the narrative you can weave out of your experiences and how they fit into your future plans. That said, an MBA, a consulting job, and a MA/PhD in cognitive science are very different things, so you might want to pause and actually figure out what you want to do in life. Also, possibly, come up with some attainable research goals to write about that would convince someone reading your application that you're actually a serious candidate worth investing lots of time and money in.

I don’t think you should say you have a degree or major in something you didn’t get a degree or major in even if you basically have the background of a typical undergraduate in that field.  For example, I am a math major but I have a background through coursework and research that is close to a statistics undergraduate degree at other univeristies.   I did explain why I majored in math and why I don’t want to continue studying math in my SOP,  but I didn’t say I had a major in stats because my transcripts doesn’t say that.   You don’t want to say something someone may consider academic dishonesty because you don’t actually have a degree in Cognitive science.  Saying you have some experience in the field is ok, but you don’t want to sound like you have more expertise than you actually do.
