The Digital Sciences minor is designed to complement a wide range of majors. The minor includes two courses that focus on improving the content of a web page, and on making a web page or program easier to use. Students then have a choice between two courses that explore societal or ethical issues involving technology, a choice from a set of courses that explore either design issues or programming, and a choice between two courses in enterprise architecture or information management—two emerging areas in digital sciences. Finally, an advisor-approved elective in the Digital Sciences provides flexibility to tailor the minor to each student's specific interests and career goals.
