The Minor requires a combination of course work from three disciplines - Computer Science, Mathematics, and a participating Science/Engineering domain (e.g., Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics).
For students pursuing a Master's degree, 9 total hours of approved IGMCS courses are required consisting of 3 hours within the home discipline and 3 hours from each of the other two disciplines. For example, a student whose home department is Electrical Engineering and Computer Science must complete 3 hours of approved Computer Science courses and 3 hours of approved courses in each of the other two discipline groups (Mathematics and domain Science/Engineering).
For students pursuing a PhD degree, 15 total hours of approved IGMCS courses are required, consisting of 6 hours within the home discipline and 9 hours from the other two disciplines (with a minimum of 3 hours from each). For example, a student whose home department is Physics must complete 6 hours of approved Physics courses and 9 hours of approved courses from Computer Science and Mathematics (with a minimum of 3 hours from each).
