Students enrolled in the College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) may obtain a minor through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Most Liberal Arts and Science departments offer minor concentrations of study. In general, a minor in a Liberal Arts and Sciences discipline consists of a set of introductory courses plus another set of more specialized courses. Most minors require six courses, some of which may also be used for credit in the Liberal Studies Program. For a complete list of minors offered through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, please consult that section of this online Bulletin.

MINORS IN THE COLLEGE OF COMPUTING AND DIGITAL MEDIA

Political science and geography majors can pursue a minor in Data Analysis, Databases, or Data Visualization, which is important to understanding how to analyze census or GPS data.

Communications majors may be interested in Digital Cinema which will give you skills in creating videos for advertising.

Art majors interested in a career in graphics programming, animation or design may be interested in CDM's tech-focused minors in Animation or Computer Graphics Software Development. 

An academic foundation in E-Commerce Technology, Networks or Information Systems can give Commerce students an edge in a tough job market.

There are other examples too numerous to mention. So if you have questions or want advice on what minor is best for you, can email our CDM Undergraduate Services team: gocdm@cdm.depaul.edu or call them at: 312-362-8714.
