Computer and Information Technology Minor
The Computer and Information Technology (CIT) minor is a way for
students from a variety of non-technical fields to bridge the gap
between a primarily non-technical education and a technical world.
Graduates from varying fields are discovering that there is a great
need to have computer competency in addition to the knowledge they gain
in their major; and, the CIT minor, which is tailored to grow students'
understanding of computer and information technology applications,
helps prepare students for the future.
The student who minors in CIT must complete a
minimum of 20 credits of CIT courses. All students must take CS 402,
Survey of Computer Science, as well as a programming course. The other
three courses can be chosen from the options list below.
Credit toward the minor will only be given for
courses passed with C- or better, and a 2.00 grade-point average must
be attained in courses for the minor. Courses taken on the pass/fail
basis may not be used for the minor. Students should declare their
intent to earn a minor as early as possible and no later than the end
of the junior year. During the final term, an application must be made
to the student's dean to have the minor shown on the academic record.
Students must consult with their major adviser and also the minor
supervisor.
