Computer Science Minors
The Computer Science Department offers the following minors:
- Computer Science: a 19-credit minor consisting of most Computer Science core courses.
- Information Technology: contains the basic concepts of Computer Science with less focus on programming.
To enroll in a minor program, a student must submit a completed and signed Application for Minor form (Undergraduate Studies) to the Office of the Registrar. For more information, please contact the Chairperson of the Computer Science Department.
Computer Science Minor
The Computer Science Minor consists of 19 credits consisting of the following six required courses:
| Course Number | Course Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| CSC 141 | Computer Science I | 3 |
| CSC 142 | Computer Science II | 3 |
| MAT 151 | Introduction to Discrete Mathematics | 3 |
| MAT 161 | Calculus I | 4 |
| CSC 240 | Computer Science III | 3 |
| CSC 241 | Data Structures and Algorithms | 3 |
Introduction to Discrete Mathematics (MAT 151) counts towards General Education
In addition, at least one 300-level CSC classroom course is strongly recommended. A student must earn a minimum grade of C- in each course and a minimum overall GPA of 2.0 in all courses taken for the minor. For more information refer to the Computer Science Minor guidance sheet or consult with the Computer Science Chairperson.
Information Technology Minor
This minor is intended for non Computer Science majors only. It introduces students to the fundamentals of programming, computer security, web technology, database systems and networking. These six core courses must be completed:
