Computing can change the questions you ask in your major and what you can do with the answers. The Computer Science minor gives you a foundation in programming, then room to choose courses that connect with your interests. You might use those skills to build a tool, explore how a system works or create something with people in another field. You don’t need to know exactly where computing will fit into your work to begin studying it.
Computer Science
You’ll begin with Computer Science I and II, then choose courses that take you further into computing. Depending on your interests, you might study software, databases, artificial intelligence or how people interact with technology. Along the way, you’ll practice breaking a complex problem into parts, testing an approach and improving it.
These are possibilities, not prescribed combinations. The courses you choose can reflect the work you want to do.
The Computer Science minor is a 20 semester hour program combining a foundation in programming and problem solving with electives you can choose to complement your major or pursue another interest.
Required introductory courses — 8 semester hours
Computer science elective — 4 semester hours
Choose one CSC course at the 2000 level or above.
Advanced computer science electives — 8 semester hours
Choose eight semester hours of CSC courses at the 3000 or 4000 level.
