Whether your major is in the arts and sciences, business, or human services, technology is and will be a significant component of your discipline. The Minor in Computer Science is designed with great flexibility so students, with the help of a faculty advisor from the Computer Science Department, can design a course sequence to support their major and area of interest.
Computer Science is one of the top fields in demand today, as technology is present in almost every aspect of our lives. Computer scientists don’t just write code – they innovate and work collaboratively to solve complex problems across various industries, the government, and the public sectors.
Students have access to more than 20 computer labs on campus, including two departmental facilities: a Linux lab and a Networking and Cybersecurity Laboratory that can be used for coursework and research. Students can also access our High-Performance Computing Cluster, which consists of 8 nodes with 192 cores and 512GB of RAM, which is physically located on campus. We also have a Mobile Development Lab, with an assortment of Android and iOS devices that students can use for app development and research. Lastly, our Cloud Development Lab, which is still under construction, will be the center of our cloud application development as well as cloud infrastructure management.
