Build your foundation with fundamental courses
Students begin the minor by taking introductory courses taken by Khoury College majors and non-majors alike—with no programming experience needed. CS minors must take:
- CS 2500 Fundamentals 1 – Introduces computing and programming, the principles of systematic problem solving through programming, and the basic rules of computation.
- CS 2510 Fundamentals 2 – Focuses on class-based program design and the design of abstractions that support the design of reusable software and libraries.
DS minors can take the above two courses OR:
- DS 2000 Programming with Data – Introduces programming for data and information science through cross-disciplinary case studies and key concepts in programming, data structures, and data analysis through Python.
- DS 2500 Intermediate Programming with Data – Offers intermediate to advanced Python programming for data science, including topics such as object-oriented design patterns and software architecture, recursion, profiling, unit testing and debugging, lineage and data provenance.
By attending class with Khoury majors—approximately one-third of whom are also new to programming—you’ll develop your knowledge base while engaging with Khoury’s diverse community. Many non-major students decide to pursue CS or DS as a discipline and transition into a Khoury combined major after completing introductory courses.
