CS Minor/Concentration The Computer Science Minor/Concentration is for students who anticipate that computer science will have a prominent role to play in their academic and professional career. It is designed for students in all majors to supplement their primary studies. Computer science is applicable to almost any major and career choice; from Communication, Psychology, and Law to Architecture, Music, and Engineering. The theoretical foundations of information and computation provide students with the appropriate skills for academic and professional careers. The CS Minor is designed for students in Engineering, while the CS Concentration is for students in all schools and colleges except the Hotel School. | Offered by: | The Department of Computer Science | | Administered by: | The Department of Computer Science; 303 Upson Hall | | Contact Person: | Nicole Roy, 303 Upson Hall, 255-0982, nicole@cs.cornell.edu | | Eligibility: | Students in the following six (6) colleges are eligible for the Minor/Concentration with some exceptions (see Note):
