The Computer Science minor

You're knee deep in your major of chemistry, spanish, theology, aerospace engineering, economics,.... and discover you really like that computer science course you took and you would like to get deep in computer science too. You also discover all the talents and skills you'll develop studying CS could be used in your field and give you an edge in it. But you don't have enough time to add a CS major. So the wise move is to minor in CS and pick your upper level CS courses according to your interests.

New requirements
The Computer Science minor for students who declare their minor after May 2005 has as its requirements:

1. CSCI 140: Introduction to Computer Science (3)

2. CSCI 150: Introduction to Object Oriented Programming (4) or
CSCI 145/146: Scientific Programming/ Object Oriented Practicum (4)

3. CSCI 180: Data Structures (4)

4. MATH 135: Discrete Mathematics (3) or MATH 266: Principles of Mathematics (3)

5. Two additional CSCI courses at the 200 level or above
(20 hours)

Old requirements
The Computer Science minor offered through the College of Arts & Sciences for students who have already declared this minor before May has as its requirements:

CSCI 150 or equivalent course (previously CS A120)
CSCI 180 (previously CS A220)
CSCI 290 (previously CS A240)
