Specialization in Computing Science—Minor in Business
The minor in Business program is for students interested in a career that combines Computing Science and Business. Students in the program have access to a limited number of reserved places in Business courses. Business minor students should consider the Science Internship Program.
Continuation in the Specialization in Computing Science - Minor in Business program requires successful completion of at least ★18 with a minimum 2.3 GPA and a minimum 2.3 GPA on all CMPUT and Business courses completed in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, graduation requires a minimum 2.3 GPA on the last ★60 and a minimum 2.3 GPA on all CMPUT and Business courses credited towards the degree. (Note that ECON courses are not counted as Business courses.)
Specialization with Business minor students must complete a minimum of ★24 in CMPUT courses at the 300- or 400-level offered at the University of Alberta.
Students can take a maximum of ★42 in 100-level courses.
Course selections in other departments and Faculties may be subject to enrolment management policies and GPA requirements.
Students who choose not to continue in the Specialization Computing Science program lose their status as “pursuing a Business Minor”. Upon reapplication, students may be able to pursue the Business minor in the General Program if they meet the competitive admission GPA for this minor.
Options
- ★9 in CMPUT at the 300-level or higher (see Notes 3 and 4)
- ★6 approved Business options (See Note 6)
- ★9 in options (See Note 1 and 6)
Notes
- Options consist of Science options (see details of courses ), Arts options, Business options, and approved options from any Faculty. The options must satisfy at least ★12 from Science (see details of courses ) and ★6 from Arts, and an additional ★12 that may be chosen from Science (see details of courses ), Arts or another Faculty. Higher level CMPUT courses may require specific CMPUT, MATH or STAT courses as prerequisites. Therefore, prerequisites for higher level CMPUT courses must be considered when choosing options.
