Computing represents two-thirds of projected new STEM jobs in the U.S. However, less than 3% of college students earn a computer science degree, and only 8% of STEM graduates major in computer science. 

A collaborative alliance between the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Education provides innovative programming, teaching and research.

There are no prerequisites for the minor. As you might expect, Computer Science majors are not eligible for the minor.

Secondary Education majors seeking licensure in grades 7-12 can gain endorsement in Computer Science Education to go along with their primary licensure. 

The Secondary Education Program also offers a major concentration in Computer Science for students interested in computer science as their primary endorsement area for licensure.
