Faculty: Jumadinova (Chair), Bonham-Carter, Graber, Green, Kapfhammer, Luman
The Informatics minor is a program in the Interdisciplinary Studies Area of Study. Informatics minors may complete any major to satisfy the college requirement that the major and minor be in different areas of study. However, students who minor in Informatics may not major in Computer Science, Data Science, or Software Engineering.
The Informatics Minor
The Informatics minor consists of 24 credits. At graduation, Informatics minors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor. The calculation is based on the grades of all courses presented for the minor. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. At most one of the Foundation courses (CMPSC 100 or CMPSC 101 ) may be presented on the Credit/No Credit grade basis. A maximum of 8 transfer credits may be counted toward the minor; exceptions must be approved by the department chair.
