Summary of Requirements

One Full 300-Level Computer Science Course
Four Full Computer Science Minor Elective Courses

Note(s) on Requirements

CSCI 391 does not count toward the minor.
Only one non-CSCI course may count toward the minor.

Transfer of Credit Toward the Minor

Two types of approval are needed to transfer credit to count toward the computer science minor requirements. (1) Approval from the Office of the Registrar that the transfer course meets Oberlin’s transfer-of-credit eligibility standards and (2) approval from the department/program chair that the course(s) may count to the minor. Current students taking post-matriculation credit must secure this approval before registering for course(s). Students who enter Oberlin as transfer students will have their pre-matriculation credit evaluated by the Office of the Registrar for elective credit, and they can later seek approval from the department/program for applying coursework to minor requirements.

Advanced Placement and/or International Baccalaureate Credit

AP/IB transfer credit received for CSCI 150 and CSCI 601 counts toward the minor as 100-level minor elective courses.
