Computer Science Minor

Offered by the Department of Computer Science

Contact: Rhodes Hall, 5th floor (607) 255-0982

Students affiliated with all majors except Computer Science and Information Science, Systems, and Technology (ISST) are eligible to participate in this minor. This minor is for students who anticipate that computer science will play a prominent role in their academic and professional career. Completion of a Computer Science minor, with a well-selected set of classes, can serve as good preparation for further study in computer science through our two-semester Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program, or our four-semester Master of Science program.

Requirements:

At least six courses (18 credits) chosen as follows:

Required courses:

One of the following:

CS 2110 - Object-Oriented Programming and Data Structures (crosslisted) or
ENGRD 2110 - Object-Oriented Programming and Data Structures (crosslisted) or
CS 2112 - [Object-Oriented Design and Data Structures - Honors] (crosslisted) or
ENGRD 2112 - [Object-Oriented Design and Data Structures - Honors] (crosslisted) or
ENGRD 2140 - Computer Systems Programming (crosslisted) or
ECE 2400 - Computer Systems Programming (crosslisted)

One of the following:

CS 3110 - Data Structures and Functional Programming
CS 3410 - Computer System Organization and Programming
CS 3420 - Embedded Systems (crosslisted)
ECE 3140 - Embedded Systems (crosslisted)

2. Additional courses:

Four CS courses numbered 3000 or higher with the following exceptions:

CS 4090 - Teaching Experience in Computer Science and
CS 4997 - Practical Training in Computer Science
and
CS 4998 - Team Projects
CS 4999 - Independent Reading and Research and seminars are excluded
CS 2800 - Discrete Structures or CS 2802 is allowed

Note:

Academic standards: at least a letter grade of C is required for each course in the minor.

Cross-listed courses cannot be applied to the minor unless taken under the CS rubric, with the sole exceptions of ECE 2400 and ECE 3140 and CS courses also listed as ENGRD. All qualifying courses must be taken at Cornell for a letter grade. No substitutions allowed.
