Computer Science (minor)
Why choose a minor in Computer Science?
Basic computer science skills are the perfect complement to any degree program at Concordia. The Minor in Computer Science is designed to meet the growing demand for computer-literate professionals, and may offer students more career opportunities after graduation.
This minor must be combined with a major, specialization or honours program. It is only available to students enrolled in degree programs outside of the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science.
- Minor in Computer Science (25 credits)
