REQUIREMENTS
- A total of 18 credits of computer science courses
- All 18 credits must have a grade of C or better. A grade of C- is not acceptable.
International Engineering Minor
Computer Science is a global profession, and today’s computer scientists must be able to work and interact in a variety of diverse cultural and technical environments. The international engineering minor gives computer science students an opportunity to study culture and foreign language at the same time as they pursue their computer science degrees.
The minor includes at least one semester of study abroad. Foreign language skills can be earned through a variety of means, including formal university coursework, intensive summer language programs, and previous education. 9 credits of lower-division coursework, and 9 credits of upper-division coursework.
Graduate Minors
Computer Science Requirements
A graduate minor in Computer Science gives you the skills and knowledge to understand how software-intensive systems are designed and implemented. With these skills, you can use computers to extend the state of the art in your major discipline.
REQUIREMENTS
12 credits are required, and must be completed with a grade of B or better.
- COSC 5110 - Analysis Of Algorithms Credits: 3
- 9 additional credits of 5000-level computer science courses
Certificates
cybersecurity certificate
The cybersecurity certificate program is housed in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. Students study computer science, programming, networking, databases, security of systems and advanced topics! Through the program there’s access to specialized hardware and software specifically related to side channel evaluation and attacks.
Students may access various cybersecurity research groups including those in the Cybersecurity Education and Research (CEDAR) Center.
Faculty have collaborated with dozens of student researchers who are now successfully published in major conferences, journals and magazines. The field of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and flexible coursework allows students to adapt their learning experience to fit their needs and preferences. This can help students stay current with the latest developments in the field, which is crucial in the fast-paced and constantly changing world of cybersecurity.
