The department offers a minor in Computer Information Systems using two tracts or two sets of requirements. The first tract is intended for students who want a background in programming. Normally these students come from the Faculty of Science. The second tract is for students who are not interested in programing but are interested in using information systems in the context of a business or organization. Normally these students come from the Faculty of Business.
In either tract, the minor is divided into two sets of courses. There are 12 credits of required courses which depend on the tract and 12 credits of elective courses.
