Computer Programming (Minor)

Program Overview

The Department of Computer Science offers a Minor in Computer Programming (CPM) to undergraduate majors in any field except Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering.Ìý The minor requires 19 hours of coursework from the Computer Science core.

The objectives of this minor are to:

  1. Encourage students to combine computing with their own disciplines.

  2. Promote quality and process when developing computing solutions.

  3. Give graduating seniors with a minor in computer programming an added advantage in the job market.
