Computer Science majors are required to choose a minor or a specialization. Most computer science majors in the BS degree program automatically complete the Science Comprehensive minor with their mathematics and science courses and thus need no other minor or specialization. The following specializations and minors may be of interest to a computer science major.

Science Comprehensive (BS degree majors only)

Requires a total of 53 hours of natural science, mathematics, and computer science, including no more than 33 hours of computer science. For example, students completing ten hours of natural science and ten hours of mathematics for the degree have automatically earned the Science Comprehensive minor if they have completed one extra CS course (e.g. CS 1010, 3160, or 3600).

Business Systems Specialization (CS majors only)

21 hours must be chosen from the following courses:
ACCT 2210-2220, Accounting and Business Concepts, 6 hours, required
ACCT 3210, Intermediate Financial Accounting I, 3 hours
ACCT 3220, Intermediate Financial Accounting II, 3 hours
ACCT 4510, Auditing I, 3 hours
†ECON 2020, Principles of Microeconomics, 3 hours
†ECON 2030, Principles of Macroeconomics, 3 hours
FIN 3000, Business Finance, 3 hours
LEGS 3010, Legal Environment of Business, 3 hours
LEGS 4230, Computer and Technology Law, 3 hours
MATH 2470 or STAT 2120, Fundamentals of Statistics, 3 hours
MGMT 3000 or MGMT 3050, Principles of Organization and Management, 3 hours
MGMT 3600, Organizational Theory and Behavior, 3 hours
MIS 3600, Introduction to Systems Concepts, 3 hours (no longer offered)
MIS 4050, Electronic Commerce, 3 hours
MKT 3000, Principles of Marketing, 3 hours

Geographic Information Systems Specialization (CS majors only)

†GEOG 2250 (Geography of the Global Economy) or †GEOG 4260 (Urban Geography), 3 hours
†GEOG 3250, Population Geography, 3 hours
GEOG 3210, Cartography and Map Communication, 3 hours
GEOG 4130, Introduction to Remote Sensing, 3 hours
GEOG 4220, Computer Mapping, 3 hours
GEOG 4240, Geographic Information Systems, 3 hours
†GEOG 4250, Applied GIS—Human Dimensions, 3 hours

Electronics and Computer Technology Minor

Management Information Systems Minor

Other Minors

The computer science major can choose any minor offered by any college at the University, and will occasionally choose a minor that's unrelated to the major to satisfy a personal interest.

†Course also applies to the Social Sciences degree requirement.
