Minor Requirements
These requirements are effective beginning in the Fall 2005 semester.
- CS151
Foundations of Computing I
- CS248
Object-Oriented Programming and Data Structures (Java)
- Twelve additional credit hours of CS or SE electives numbered 250

We often accept MA205,206 in place of
CS151,252
for satisfying the major or minor requirements
upon petition to the department head.
Note that doing this, together with using
MA341/CS451 or
MA365/CS455 as CS electives,
makes the CS minor relatively easy for mathematics majors to obtain.
