The minor provides sufficient flexibility to complement any major field of study. Completion of the minor is sufficient for a certified teacher to be licensed to teach computer science in the State of Wisconsin. A computer science minor requires a minimum of 24 credits in computer science. The department has breadth and depth in practically every area of computer theory and application. Faculty experience includes professional data processing programming, systems analysis, software engineering, and research in applied and theoretical computer science.
Faculty members hold advanced degrees in computer science, information science, and mathematics.
The student receives a great deal of personal attention at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Faculty members personally develop their course content, teach the course and grade examinations. The faculty is also available several hours each day to assist students and to provide guidance in their chosen program. Since teaching is our most important activity, far more contact with the faculty occurs than at most larger schools. The close contact we maintain builds a camaraderie between faculty and students which makes for a more satisfying educational experience and a friendlier social environment.
