Add computing expertise to your degree with a minor in computer science, cybersecurity, or data acquisition and controls. You'll build a fundamental knowledge base in a discipline outside of or complementary to your major and expand your career options.
How to Enroll in a Minor
To pursue a minor, you must first be enrolled in a bachelor's degree program and submit a request to add a minor to your curriculum through the curriculum change portlet in Experience (view the My Undergraduate Degree card and select Change/Add/Drop a Major/Minor/Concentration). The minor advisor will receive notification and contact you with any questions before reviewing and approving your request. We recommend that you begin your minor studies as early as possible in your academic career. This minor will take at least four semesters to complete.
See the College of Computing minor audits for a listing of requirements for each minor.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The Minor in Artificial Intelligence equips you to build a strong technical foundation while exploring the ethical and societal impacts of AI, preparing you to design, implement, and evaluate intelligent solutions responsibly. With in-demand skills in machine learning, data-driven problem solving, and AI applications across industries like healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and beyond, you'll gain a competitive edge.
Computer Science
The discipline of computer science encompasses theory, experimentation, and engineering design. The Minor in Computer Science introduces you to foundational computer science topics and strengthens your creativity, precision, and reasoning capabilities.
Cybersecurity
The Minor in Cybersecurity offers students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of cybersecurity concepts and principles, learn both offensive and defensive cybersecurity techniques, and develop professional skills to apply cybersecurity knowledge to their major areas of interest.
Data Acquisition and Industrial Control
In the Data Acquisition and Industrial Control minor, you'll develop skills in data collection and analysis/interpretation. The minor in Data Acquisition and Industrial Control is most applicable to the fields of electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering technology, and surveying engineering.
Robotics
Enhance your major with a minor in robotics and gain the interdisciplinary skills needed to design and build intelligent systems. This minor blends mechanical, electrical, and computing concepts to prepare you for real-world collaboration and innovation in robotics. Graduate ready to contribute to cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future across industries.
