<p>Hi. I was just wondering...I'm going to be a freshman in college and I've decided that my major will be computer science. I am also interested in minoring in a different concentration, but I don't know what to minor in. Can I get some ideas, please? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Whatever you may be interested in.</p>
<p>Or whatever you may be interested in applying computer science to. This could anything from engineering/science/math/statistics (scientific computing), to economics/finance (computerized trading systems and the like), to various types of social studies (social networking might be an area of research here), to humanities (an example would be a recent research finding about the trends in word use in the written English works over time, as well as automatic translation between human languages).</p>

<p>Anything. It’s hard for us to recommend minors without knowing much about you, but your minor doesn’t have to relate to your major at all.</p>
<p>I would recommend a foreign language for anybody.</p>
<p>I’m minoring in music, since it’s different and something I enjoy. When you have a tough major, it’s nice to take enjoyable classes to stay sane.</p>
<p>Consider minoring in Math. Many CS programs let you get through without taking a full complement of very important CS-related math classes. Don’t let that happen to you!</p>
<p>The right mathematical background adds lots of depth to the CS degree. That’s the knowledge that will set you apart.</p>
<p>And you’ll still have room for another minor, in a field of your interest. Usually CS and Math go so well together that you still have flexibility.</p>
<p>At my school, cognitive science was a semi-popular minor for CS majors, but not every school offers a cognitive science degree.</p>
<p>Business could be a smart decision. This way you could get some general business courses in and have a computer science background at the same time. Saint leo university in Florida is one school that I know of that offers a computer science degree through their business school.</p>
