Minor Requirements (revised Spring 2020)
The minor in Scientific Computing requires 15 credit hours, distributed as follows:
1. Computer Science CS1104 (strongly recommended) or聽CS 1101. (3 hours)
2. Computer Science CS 2204 (strongly recommended) or CS 2201. (3 hours)
3. Elective courses (9 hours). Three hours must come from elective list A. Mathematical, Quantitative, and Data Science Methods; three hours must come from elective list B. Computational, Simulation, and Modeling Methods; and three hours can come from either course list A or B, or from independent study (SC 3850/3851) with a faculty member affiliated with the SC minor.

Note that many of the subject area electives are advanced courses within a discipline. While some of these courses are only appropriate for majors or minors in those disciplines, many courses are perfectly appropriate for students in Scientific Computing. If uncertain, ask the course instructor before enrolling.
See Courses in Scientific Computing for a detailed description of all courses associated with the minor.
