Computer Science Minor

 Return to: Majors and Minors by Department
The study of computer science includes, but is not limited to, computer programming. We learn how to solve problems by creating, implementing, and analyzing algorithms. We study how computers are organized, how they carry out their operations, how they store and transmit information, and how we control and interact with them.
Computer science has rich overlaps with a wide variety of fields, in terms of both shared skills, paradigms and interdisciplinary synergies, with particularly clear connections to mathematics, natural and physical sciences, philosophy, psychology, and the language arts. The computer is now deeply embedded in our culture and society, which means that its use and abuse are cultural and social concerns.
