Minor in Computer Science

Students may minor in computer science by completing 18 semester credit hours of computer science courses. These include Computer Science 1320, 1321, 2320 and either 2305 or 2360, plus six additional advanced hours in computer science.

Minors with limited exposure to computers prior to beginning the program may benefit from completing Computer Science 1301 or Office Systems 1384 before taking these courses.
