Minors in MSCS for Engineering Students

Due to substantial duplication of courses and/or content in the major and minor, the requirements for the minor must include at least two courses that are not already required for the major.

Students majoring in Computer Science cannot do minors in Math or MCS due to duplication of courses and/or content.

Students in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering planning to minor in Math must observe the two-course rule:

• The student must take two more MSCS courses beyond what is already required in their Engineering curriculum; and
• 5 of the 8 hours beyond Math 210 must be in the Math rubric. Once this rule has been met, the student can use any 200-level or higher MSCS class toward the minor.

Computer Engineering Major/Math Minor
Math 180, 181, 210, 220
Plus one from Math 310, 320, or MCS 471
Plus two additional 200-level or higher MSCS classes

Electrical Engineering Major/Math Minor
Math 180, 181, 210, 220
Plus one from Math 310, Stat 381, Stat 401, Math 410, Math 417, MCS 471, or Math 481
Plus two additional 200-level or higher MSCS classes

Other Engineering Majors (BioE, ChemE, C&ME;, MechE, IndE)/Math Minor
Math 180, 181, 210, 220
Plus two more MSCS courses: one course must be in the Math rubric, and the other course can be any 200-level or higher MSCS class

All Engineering Majors (except CS)/MCS Minor
Follow course requirements as listed in Undergraduate Catalog. Math 180, MCS 260, 261, 275
Plus Math 181 or any 3-400 level MCS course
