If the application is approved, a minor in Computer Science will be granted upon completion of the following requirements:

Enrollment in all CS courses is subject to space availability. CS Minors are expected to take CS courses during off-peak sessions. Students are responsible for maintaining an up-to-date minor plan of study, for knowing registration timelines, and for requesting space through the correct process. Computer Science majors are given priority in registering for CS classes.
