Interdisciplinary Selectives (15 credits)


The Interdisciplinary Selective requirement can be met in three ways:

  1. Any University recognized non-computing minor or certificate with at least 15 credits. CGT, CNIT, CS and ECE are considered computing minors and are not available as interdisciplinary selectives. 

If some courses from the minor fulfill other departmental requirements, additional courses will be required to satisfy the 15 interdisciplinary credit hours. The following are approved options:

    • Honors (HONR) courses
    • Courses in the same area as their completed minor
    • Courses complementary to their completed minor
    • Courses that are part of a minor or a university wide certificate of 15 credits or more
    • Foreign Language courses that are a pre-requisite to a foreign language minor, other courses that are pre-requisites to minors will be considered.
  1. Fifteen credit hours within one non-computing subject (course prefix) such that:
    • At least six credit hours in advanced courses at the 30000-level or higher with a required prerequisite in the same subject
    • Up to six credit hours may be introductory-level courses at the 20000-level or higher without a prerequisite from the same subject
    • No more than three credit hours may be an introductory-level course at the 100000-level without a pre-requisite from the same subject
  2. A department-approved set of non-computing courses in (a) subject area(s) to which Information Technology can be applied. This option allows a student to create a set of complementary courses across subjects that collectively meet an over-arching objective. To choose this option, submit a one-page document detailing your objective and list the courses proposed to meet the fifteen credit-hour requirement and how each will contribute to the over-arching objective.

Information Technology Selective (3 credits)


Any other CNIT 30000 level or higher CNIT course.
