Computer Science Minor
Any CU Boulder undergraduate student can earn a minor in computer science, except those with a declared major in computer science (BA or BS).
Allow six semesters, plus possible summer classes, to fulfill the requirements for a CSCI minor. To avoid delays to graduation, students should begin taking classes toward the minor no later than the first semester of their sophomore year.
While we strive to accommodate as many students as possible, the Department of Computer Science is not responsible for resolving scheduling conflicts that may arise as students are completing the minor.
Requirements & Policies
Declaring the Minor
- Submit by March 1st for spring requirement term.
- Submit by June 1st for summer requirement term.
- Submit by October 1st for fall requirement term.
Once you have completed the prerequisites outlined below, please submit the Computer Science Minor Interest Form. After the semester’s deadline, the CSCI minor advising team will verify that you have successfully completed the prerequisites and forward your information to the Dean’s Office to have the minor added to your academic plan. Please allow up to a week for the CSCI minor to be added to your record.
Students may not complete a computer science (CSMR-MIN) minor if they are also completing a BS in Computer Science, a BA in Computer Science, a BS in Applied Computer Science (post-baccalaureate program), the Computer Science Integration program in Leeds, or a computer engineering (CEMR) minor.
Please reach out to cs-minor@colorado.edu with any questions or concerns regarding your minor.
