The University requirements for a minor include (1) at least 12 units of the minor must be taken at CSU East Bay, and (2) at least 18 units must be outside the major discipline.
Students majoring in other fields may wish to complete a coherent pattern of work in Computer Science for the purpose of expanding their employment and educational opportunities. The Computer Science minor conists of 36 units, and students who successfully complete this program will have that fact entered on their university records.
I. Lower Division Mathematics (12 units)
II. Lower Division Computer Science (12 units)
III. Upper Division Computer Science (12 units)
Two courses from the following list:
One upper division Computer Science elective. This may be a third course from the list above or any course in category IV of the requirements for the major in Com puter Science.
Students in technical areas will almost always be involved with computers and software during their careers. For example, engineers may be in an area that requires the developement of new software as related to their normal job activities. The software development minor will allow these engineers to develop the skills necessary to carry out software implementations in a systematic manner, thus making for more well-rounded engineers.
Although the minor consists of nine courses, an industrial engineer, for example, can complete this minor with four courses in addition to the major. Afterwards, an industrial engineer would only require three additional courses for acceptance into the Master's program in Computer Science. The minor is also applicable to other students who want to enhance their software skills without doing the more traditional orientation of the Computer Science minor.
The minor requires 36 units.
I. Lower Division Mathematics (12 units)
II. Lower Division Computer Science (8 units)
III. Upper Division Courses (16 units)
Two courses from the following list:
A Mathematics minor consists of the lower division Calculus and Linear Algebra courses, which are also required for the Computer Science major, along with three approved upper division mathematics electives. Two of the electives must be from the following list.
Computer Science majors may complete a Mathematics minor with few (or no) additional courses by using the two math courses from the above list as the eight hours of non-C.S. courses allowed in the Electives area (see Section 6.5). They may also use a cross-listed course such as Math/CS 3750, 4750, 4245, or 4170 as the mathematics minor elective.
The University requirement for a minor include (1) at least 12 units of the minor must be taken at CSU East Bay, and (2) at least 18 units must be outside computer science (the major discipline).
It is also certainly possible ---and in many cases, desirable --- to
complete double majors, in both Mathematics and Computer Science. A
sample program leading to such a double major is shown in Table 4.
