Please note: While there is no longer a minimum remaining credit hour requirement for admission to the CS minor program, students should carefully consider their academic plan before applying. A CS minor typically takes at least 3 to 4 semesters (excluding summer terms) to complete due to course sequencing, prerequisite requirements, and course availability. Students are encouraged to review the minor requirements and assess how the additional coursework aligns with their graduation timeline.
