Computer Science Minor
The minor in computer science provides solid background for students choosing to pursue other major fields. The computer science minor program is available to all students, and does NOT require an application. Completion of the minor, however, is subject to course availability. Registration preference for majors ahead of minor-intending students may limit the choice of upper division electives available to complete the minor.
Requirements
In addition to the program requirements listed below, students must:
- take at least nine hours of their minor "core" requirements at UNC–Chapel Hill
- earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 in the minor core requirements. Some programs may require higher standards for minor or specific courses.
For more information, please consult the degree requirements section of the catalog.
A student may minor in computer science by completing five courses within these restrictions:
| Code | Title | Hours |
