The minor in computer and information science (CSE) consists of a minimum of 23 credit hours in one of two tracks: programming and algorithms, or information systems. See the course lists below. If you complete the minor following these guidelines, you should file the Minor Program Form with a college or school counselor. Any variation from the program described here needs the approval of the coordinating adviser in the Department of Computer and Information Science. CSE minors do not pay a computing fee (at least not as part of their minor), they do not get permanent computer accounts on the CSE machines, and do not get priority scheduling into the “M” (major) sections of CSE courses. For further information about the minor program, contact the department.
