Computer Science Minor
For information, contact the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, 205 Benton Hall, 513-529-0340.
This minor is for students in majors other than computer science or software engineering. The objective is to provide a cohesive program enabling students to learn the fundamentals of software design and development and a variety of other topics in computer science. In addition to gaining an understanding of the software design and development process, students will acquire problem solving and algorithm design skills. Electives in sub-fields of computer science including computer networks, operating systems, database, software engineering, graphics, and computer architecture permit the student to study particular areas of interest.
According to University guidelines, all minor courses must be taken for a letter grade and you must earn an overall 2.00 GPA or higher in these courses.
