There are two different tracks that earn a minor in Computer Science. Both require at least 18 credit hours of COS courses.

Computer Science - Track 1

COS 125 - Introduction to Problem Solving Using Computer Programming Credits: 3
COS 140 - Foundations of Computer Science Credits: 3
COS 225 - Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and Design Credits: 4
COS 226 - Introduction to Data Structures Credits: 3
Plus any two additional COS courses at the 300-level or above

Computer Science - Track 2

COS 140 - Foundations of Computer Science Credits: 3
COS 220 - Introduction to C++ Programming Credits: 3
COS 221 - Data Structures in C++ Credits: 3
COS 235 - Computer Organization Credits: 4
Plus any two additional COS courses at the 300-level or above
Students who have taken ECE 177 or a similar course, may be excused from taking COS 220. If they choose to be excused from COS 220, they must either take COS 125 or an additional COS course at the 200 level or above.
Students who have taken an ECE architecture course, may be excused from taking COS 335, but must take an additional COS course at the 300 level or above.
