Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Computer Science Minor is designed to augment the skills of students majoring in chemistry, mathematics, as well as those students outside of the Kinsley School of Engineering Science and Technology with inclination and strength in this area. Students can greatly broaden their post-graduate horizons through this minor, by adding computing facility to the proficiencies gained through their major program. A maximum of 9 credits from a student’s major can be used to fulfill the CS minor requirements.
