26 S.H.

The Computer Science minor is designed to provide students with a solid understanding of computer science. Students will gain knowledge and skills to apply computer programming techniques to their major field of study. The courses included in the Computer Science minor are the introductory programming sequence for CS majors along with mathematics and upper-level computer science major elective courses.

Required Courses (11 S.H.)

CS 130 - Problem Solving with Computers (3 S.H.) OR
CS 101 - Exploring Creative Computing (3 S.H.)
CS 234 - Algorithms and Problem-Solving I (4 S.H.)
CS 250 - Algorithms and Problem-Solving II (4 S.H.)

Note:

Students who are prepared for calculus and take CS 234 - Algorithms and Problem-Solving I as their first computer science course may choose to take a 300- or 400- level CS course in place of the CS 130 - Problem Solving with Computers / CS 101 - Exploring Creative Computing course requirement.

Electives (15 S.H.)

Choose 15 S.H.:

CS 275 - Mathematical Foundations of Algorithms (4 S.H.)
Computer Science courses numbered 300 or above

Choose one:

MATH 140 - Applied Calculus (3 S.H.)
MATH 212 - Calculus I (4 S.H.)

Note:

Math majors may substitute △ MATH 327 - Foundations of Mathematics for the CS 275 - Mathematical Foundations of Algorithms course requirements.
