CS Minor

Minor in Computer Science

Nearly all Illinois undergraduate degrees can be paired with a Computer Science minor.

The CS minor can be a great way to add computer science to the area of study you're most passionate about—from agriculture to the arts, from media to the sciences, or from business to engineering, just to name a few.

That said, declaring a CS minor does not provide registration advantages in CS courses. We cannot guarantee that a student can obtain all the courses needed to complete the minor (completion of a minor is not a graduation requirement). CS, CS + X, and CE majors are not eligible for the CS minor. Students should begin the minor no later than the first-semester of their Junior year since the program takes a minimum of 4 semesters to complete.

If you're interested in the CS Minor, consult with your academic advisor.
