Computer and Information Technology Minor
The computer and Information Technology (CIT) minor is a way for students from a variety of non-technical fields to bridge the gap between a primarily non-technical education and a technical world. Graduates from varying fields are discovering that there is a great need to have computer competency in addition to the knowledge they gain in their major; and, the CIT minor, which is tailored to grow students’ understanding of computer and information technology applications, helps prepare students for the future.
The student who minors in CIT must complete a minimum of 20 credits of CIT courses. All students must take CS 402, Survey of Computer Science, as well as a programming course. The other three courses can be chosen from the following options list.
Credit toward the minor will only be given for courses passed with C- or better, and a 2.00 grade-point average must be attained in courses for the minor. Courses taken on the pass/fail basis may not be used for the minor. Students should declare their intent to earn a minor as early as possible and no later than the end of the junior year. During the final term, an application must be made to the student’s dean to have the minor shown on the academic record. Students must consult with their major adviser and also the minor supervisor.
