How do I apply for a major in Computer Science or Information Systems?

A Computer Science Minor includes 35 credits: the first year sequences in computing (CSC 1230, 2430 and 2431), 1 mathematics course (MAT 1221, 1225, 1360 or 2700) and 15 upper-division credits in computer science.  More information may be found on the Computer Science Minor in the Undergraduate Catalog. The requirements for acceptance to the minor are the same as for majors, and the same Application Form is used.

What are the requirements for a minor in Computer Science?

The Department of Computing Sciences offers three computing-related degree tracks (BS and BA in Computer Science, BS in Information Systems and collaborates with the departments of Engineering and Mathematics in two others (Computer Engineering and Computational Mathematics).
