The Department of Computer Science provides opportunities for both theoretical and practical knowledge. Computer Science is a wide-ranging discipline that deals with the exploration, design and synthesis of computer systems and their applications. The major curriculum is intended to prepare students to enter the rapidly growing computer field and includes a sound preparation in science and mathematics. Students from any other discipline can also have a minor in Computer Science, if they meet the requirements. A minor in Computer Science consists of eighteen (21) semester hours in Computer Science, at least nine (9) semester hours of which must be upper (advanced) division courses. Students should consult a faculty advisor prior to enrolling in courses intended to count toward the minor.
