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 approved elective in the Digital Sciences provides flexibility to tailor the minor to each student's specific interests and career goals.
