Stepping into the Future

Some of the best paying and most abundant future job openings will be for computer systems analysts, computer programmers and computer software engeneers. If you are interested in becoming the "Computer Programmer" in yuor work group, the person everyone goes to when a computer problem arises, this is the minor for you.

Qualifications

The minor is open to all degree programs, and there are no prerequisite courses. The minor is a progrmming intensive course of study, and you will learn at least two programming languages. To start the program, you will have to take either CS 118 (Pascal) or CS 210 (FORTRAN) or have equivalent knowedge of either if these courses.
