The Computer Science minor program is open to all students at the University of Nevada, Reno. Students who complete the minor program will achieve a strong technical foundation, upon which they may further their expertise in computer science. Additionally, students will have a greater understanding of the role of computers in theri selected field(s) of study.

To receive a minor in Computer Science, students must complete the following core courses:

• Computer Science I (CS 135)
• Introduction to Computer Engineering (CPE 201) or Microprocessor System Design (CPE 301)
• Computer Science II (CS 202)
• Data Structures (CS 302)
• Mathematics of Computer Science (CS 365)

In addition to these courses, students must earn six credits in upper-division Computer Science & Engineering courses. Of these six credits, three may be accounted for by either CS 491 or CS 493. In all, students seeking the minor will take 22 credits of Computer Science & Engineering coursework, in addition to the courses of their chosen field of study.
