Finish in Four
The Finish in Four plans are designed to assist you in an eight semester plan guiding you to graduate within four years. You may use this as a guide to plan your undergraduate education, but you should adjust it to fit your personal goals.
Minor
A Computer Science minor can benefit a wide variety of majors since so many fields of study rely on this technology. Computing skills can be combined with other interest areas such as business, natural or social sciences, math, or statistics. Engineering students often add a Computer Science minor to their program. Students interested in research and graduate work can gain important skills. Computer science electives give you the opportunity to focus on areas of interest such as mobile app development, video game design, robotics, or cyber security.
