Minor in Computer Science
Many university students wish to acquire sufficient background in computer science to enable them to use computers effectively in their major areas or to provide an alternative source of income after graduation, but do not want to study computer science at the depth required for the B.S. degree. For such students, a minor consisting of the most central courses in the B.S. program, and some electives, is ideal.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Students will be able to design, develop, document, and test software using current techniques.
- Students will be able to solve problems working in group settings. This translates to the following outcomes.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to give presentations and write technical reports.
