The B.A. degree requires a CSC major to complete a minor in another academic program.

Here is the college list of approved minors. When you go to the home page for various departments, you may have to find a link on that page entitled "minors" or "program minors."

Not all departments and programs have minors. For example, Digital Media Arts (DMA) currently does not. As of this moment, your only recourse would be to get a dual major in Computer Science and those programs that have no major, if you truly wanted to study them as your minor.

A minor is typically 5 or 6 courses. There is usually a progression of introductory courses to intermediate (sophomore) and on to a higher level course (junior or senior.) The programs set their own minors, which are approved by the Academic Program Board. The programs also decide which courses count towards a minor. The Computer Science Department has no say in this matter and can make no changes or substitutions.

In order to facilitate timely graduation, students seeking the BA degree in Computer Science should plan their area studies courses so that there is overlap between field core courses (breadth of knowledge) or attributes core courses and their minor. For example, if you want to do a minor in Political Science, then find a lower level PSC courses that count for field 5 credit. See your advisor if you are confused or concerned about this.
