Computer Science as a Minor

The School of Computing offers a minor for students who desire to gain sufficient background to use and program computers in another field.

A limited number of students are admitted into the minor program each year. In order to be admitted, a student must have a declared major in another department and be making progress in that major. The maximum number of students accepted into the minor is determined by the faculty on an annual basis and is currently about 10.

The admission process is similar to that for majors and is carried out at the same times. Students compete for admission based on grades in Math 1210, English writing, and Computer Science 2010/2020/2100.

The minor consists of a minimum of 17.5 semester hours of computer science classes.

Computer science minors are guaranteed admission into only the upper division classes that comprise their minor. They are not allowed to take computer science classes numbered 4000 or above. Students in the minor will not be able to do phone registration for upper division classes; they must add them through the undergraduate office each semester.
