Program Description

The Computer Science Minor is designed to provide basic proficiency in computer science. The requirements focus on programming methodology and skills, software development, relevant mathematical skills, structure techniques, and basic computer science concepts such as computer organizations and architecture, design and analysis of algorithms, data communications, operating systems, and security.

Students who take recommended courses as minor electives will be able to enter into Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) at KSU without taking any additional fundamental courses.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Students who ssuccessfully complete this program will be able to: 

1. Exhibit an understanding of Computer Science foundations.
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements.

This program is a part of the College of Computing and Software Engineering .
