BCIS Degree with a Minor in Mathematics

Important information for students proceeding towards this degree/minor combination

While CIS students take MATH 125 Introduction to Discrete Mathematics as part of the CIS diploma, the minor in Mathematics requires an additional 11 MATH courses in total:

• six lower level Mathematics courses as described below (one of them replaces MATH 106 in the degree).

• five upper-level Mathematics courses numbered 308 or higher (15 credits).

CIS students need to choose their electives in other disciplines carefully in the CIS diploma (years one and two) and degree (years three and four). There are eight electives in other disciplines in the overall CIS program.

This leaves two additional upper-level Mathematics courses to be taken to complete the BCIS degree with a minor in Mathematics. (Taking this combination requires two more courses than a BCIS degree without a minor.)

Diploma Course Choices

The CIS diploma requires two electives in other disciplines:

Note: students also take MATH 125 Introduction to Discrete Mathematics as part of the CIS diploma.

Degree Course Choices

The CIS degree requires six electives in other disciplines:

* NOTE: the Mathematics minor requires a total of five upper-level Mathematics courses (numbered 308 or higher). Taking the BCIS with a Mathematics minor requires three more courses than a BCIS degree without a minor.

Students proceeding towards the BCIS with a minor in Mathematics should choose specific electives carefully, in consultation with the Mathematics department.

Students should declare a Mathematics minor to the CIS department in their first semester of the CIS degree (year three).
