Minor in Computer Science
The Computer Science minor will prepare you with a solid technical foundation to succeed in an increasingly digital world. You’ll gain computing proficiency through five courses — including programming fundamentals and your choice of electives — that easily fit around your major. Learn to build the software and services infrastructure used worldwide — with no programming background needed.
Program details
You’ll start by taking two introductory courses in computer science with Khoury College majors and nonmajors alike, developing your knowledge base while getting to know Khoury College’s diverse community. Once you complete your foundational classes, you’ll have opportunities to choose electives based on your interests and goals.
At Khoury College, you’ll be able to choose electives to personalize your minor, making it more meaningful to your goals. Whatever your major — biology to business, ecology to economics — you’ll build in-depth interdisciplinary knowledge that directly applies to your studies, plus the technical skills to succeed in a digital world.
A computer science minor can prepare you with a diverse set of skills in programming, analytical reasoning, and technical problem-solving — significantly enhancing your career prospects.
Through co-ops, you’ll gain firsthand experience while building connections in industry settings. Some of our students’ recent co-ops include:
- Programmer intern at Constant Therapy
- Application developer co-op at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office
