Computer Science is a rapidly changing field. It is applied in almost every Arts and Science discipline. Modern professionals require some knowledge of computers for use as a tool or as a more integral part of their jobs. The field of Computer Science itself continues to expand into new areas each year.
Many students take computer courses to learn skills and concepts which can be applied to practical matters which arise in their own disciplines. Others may wish to pursue a deeper study of computing through a minor in Computer Science, taking courses in programming, applications and computing theory. A minor in Computer Science may be completed with almost any major offered at the Mount.
Minor
Students interested in pursuing a minor in Computer Science should consult with the Chair of their major department and the Chair of the Mathematics department.
| To obtain a minor in Computer Science, students must fulfill the following requirements: |
| ❏ | CMPS 1155 and 2255 |
| ❏ | 0.5 unit from CMPS 2261, 2265, 2270 |
| ❏ | 1.5 additional units of CMPS, 1.0 unit of which must be at the 2000 level or above |
| ❏ | Note: CMPS 1024 may not be counted towards a Computer Science minor |
