Informatics Minor

Stop being bewildered

From pay-it-yourself parking kiosks to new voicemail systems, we’ve all wrestled with (and been assisted by) technology.

No matter your major, evolving technologies are sure to be part of the equation. Learn the skills to apply technology and develop applications for your field of study, by earning our minor in informatics.

You’ll have the opportunity to customize your minor to match your interests, and increase your knowledge of topics such as data mining, electronic discovery, and human-computer interaction.

With this minor you’ll be positioned to:
