Minor in Computer Science

About the Minor

The Computer Science minor provides students with a breadth of knowledge in areas that form the foundation of computer science. The student adds some depth by selecting courses from a list of advanced computer science courses.

Admission Requirements

The Computer Science minor is available to all University students in good standing, with the exception of Computer Science majors.

Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
