Abstract
Along with undergraduate and graduate degree programs in computer science, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of South Carolina (USC) offers a computer science minor. The recommended computer science minor at USC consists of the first four courses of the undergraduate computer science degree program. A survey of the graduates of 1977 from the College of Science and Mathematics at USC shows that there was a surprisingly low number of students completing the computer science minor. Several reasons are given for this, and a proposal is presented for modifications in the computer science minor.The Computer Science Minor at USC
