The minor in computer science is currently under review. In light of this, new students will not be accepted to this program until further notice. However, the following computer science courses will continue to be offered pending the outcome of the review process.


CSC 140. Data Manipulation Software

2 hours

This course introduces the use of spreadsheet and database software to organize, manage, present, and make calculations from data. The course is designed for accounting, business, economics, and science majors; however, other students are welcome. Integrating spreadsheets and databases and transferring data are emphasized. The course uses Microsoft Office.
 
CSC 243. Introduction to Programming in C++

4 hours

This course introduces the student to the fundamental techniques of problem solving and algorithm construction within the context of the C++ programming language. The student will design and complete several substantial programming projects, most having significant mathematical content. Topics include data types, control structures, file manipulation, functions, parameters, structures, unions, classes, arrays, dynamic data structures, abstract data types, object-oriented programming, and separate compilation units.

Prerequisite: MAT 102 or permission of instructor.
 

CSC 244. Introduction to Programming in Java
