Computer Science, Minor
School of Natural and Behavioral Sciences
Program Overview
By declaring a minor in computer science, you get to study the design of computer systems and their processes and applications. Because computer science is useful for developing a strong foundation in information management and information transfer, a minor in computer science is particularly helpful in enhancing a degree in mathematics, the sciences, and engineering.
