For the purpose of illustration, we detail minors in IS, Business, Internet Technology, and Finance. Other minors may be elected from one of the many disciplines of the arts and sciences. The minor (for example, mathematics) can be satisfied in part by the required supporting courses; there should be at least one additional course. With permission of the chair, students may substitute a departmentally approved concentration instead of the minor. Once the minor/concentration requirement is fulfilled, the completion of 128 credits can be satisfied through elective courses. SAMPLE MINOR FOR THE B.A. IN COMPUTER SCIENCE:* The minor in information systems or business provides the coursework necessary for a career as a computer specialist in a business environment. Information Systems Minor* IS 223  Fundamentals of Programming (4) IS 241  Systems Analysis and Design (4) IS 481  Database Management and Organization (4) IS Elective (4) Total credits* 16 Business Minor* ACC    203  Financial Accounting (4) ACC    204  Managerial Accounting (4) ECO    105  Principles of Economics I (3) ECO    106  Principles of Economics II (3) MAR   250  Principles of Marketing (3) MGT   250  Managerial and Organizational Concepts (3) Total credits* 20
