Computer Science Minor Requirements

2023 - 2024 Catalog

Computer Science minor

A minor in computer science requires six computer science courses of at least three credits each. A student may not complete both a major and a minor in computer science. In meeting the requirements of this discipline-based minor, a student may not use more than nine credits that are also used to meet the requirements of another major or minor. Please note that CSCI-209 is the required prerequisite for most 300-level courses, one of which is required for the minor.

  1. CSCI 111, 112
  2. One additional CSCI course at the 100 level or higher
  3. Two additional CSCI courses at the 200 level or higher
  4. One additional CSCI course at the 300 level or higher
