Students must take a total of 19-24 upper division units, with two required courses and 11-12 units of upper division electives, as specified below. A minimum GPA of 2.000 is required for coursework in the minor. Students should note that most of the courses listed below have lower division prerequisites. In particular, required course ECS 122A has a prerequisite chain of ECS 020, ECS 036A, ECS 036B, and ECS 036C. No more than one course of upper division work will be permitted for overlap between any major and the minor.
