Program Description

The Minor in Computer Science is meant for students who require basic programming skills in order to support their study and research in other disciplines.

Entry-level Mathematics Requirements

Students who intend to complete a Minor in Computer Science are required to demonstrate the same entry-level competency in mathematics described in the Entry-Level Mathematics Requirements section of the BS in Computer Science requirements above. Successfully completing required mathematics courses up through MATH 162  may add one or two semesters to the minor program, depending on placement in the Mathematics Assessment. Using transfer credit to fulfill graduation requirements of the minor follows the same policies as the BS in Computer Science. Students who place lower than MATH 162  on the Mathematics Placement Assessment must successfully complete all necessary mathematics courses up through MATH 162  before taking computer science and mathematics courses required for the minor.

Graduation Requirements

To graduate with a Minor in Computer Science, undergraduate students who have satisfied the Mathematics Entry Requirements must complete 20 credits of required coursework in Computer Science.
