26 S.H.

The Computer Science minor is designed to provide students with a solid understanding of computer science. Students will gain the 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.)

Choose one of the following two courses:

CS 130 - Problem Solving with Computers (3 S.H.)
CS 150 - Exploring Mathematics through Computing (3 S.H.)
AND
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 150 - Exploring Mathematics through Computing course requirement.

Electives (15 S.H.)

Choose 15 S.H. from any of the following:

CS 275 - Mathematical Foundations of Algorithms
Computer Science courses numbered 300 or above

Choose any one of the following courses:

MATH 140 - Applied Calculus (3 S.H.)
MATH 160 - Calculus I (4 S.H.)

Note:

Math majors may substitute MATH 210 - Foundations of Mathematics for the CS 275 - Mathematical Foundations of Algorithms course requirement.
