The minor in Digital Sciences is designed to complement a wide range of majors, including Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Visual Communication Design, Journalism and Mass Communication, Communication Studies, Fashion Design and Merchandising, and many more.

The minor includes two courses that focus on developing a content-rich website and on making a web page or software application easier to use.

The minor also provides a choice between two courses that explore societal or ethical issues involving technology; a choice from a list of courses that explore either design thinking or programming; and a choice among four courses in security, project management, information management, and enterprise architecture.

An approved elective in Digital Sciences or a related area provides further flexibility.
