Computer Science Minor | Worcester Polytechnic Institute Undergraduate Catalog

Program Distribution Requirements for the Computer Science Minor

Computer Science (Minimum 6/3 Units)

The Minor in Computer Science will consist of 2 units from Computer Science, with no more than one course at the 1000-level. The 2 units must include at least 1/3 unit CS at the 3000-level or above; however, CS 3043, CS 4032, and CS 4033 cannot be used for a CS minor. Alternatively, 1/3 unit of another activity, for example an ISU that has been validated by the CS faculty instructor as a capstone, can substitute for this requirement.

The Computer Science Department has an advisor for CS Minors, who can be reached at minoradvisor@cs.wpi.edu. Students are required to consult with the CS Minor Advisor before declaring the CS Minor. Majors in Computer Science do not qualify for a Minor in Computer Science. Students should review the Operational Rules of the Minor at WPI to avoid problems with double counting CS courses.
