The computer science minor is recommended for students who wish to supplement their major in another discipline and/or enhance their potential for employment or graduate study in a computing-related field. The minor is designed to supplement a liberal arts education in the context of the modern technological era by providing students a perspective on the nature of computation – its applied and theoretical components.

The minor consists of at least 19 hours of study, as follows:

• CSC 120 Designing Programs: Problem-solving and Abstraction (3-2-4)
• CSC 225 Data Structures and Algorithms (3-0-3)
• CSC 345 Elements of Computing Systems (3-0-3)
• An additional 9 hours of CSC courses, 6 hours of which must be at the 300-level or above.
