How hard is it to get CS minor as Math Major 3 points, 5 comments
“The website states that you needed to have been in the CS program beforehand if you want to add a CS minor to your Math major. …”
u/dabeast4826: “It is possible. It is very hard and takes careful planning and in my opinion not worth the hassle. You can get a computing minor which is less strict with required courses!”
u/Constant_Reaction_94: “… Take CS 135/145, 136/L/146, math 239/249, obviously Then for the "Five additional courses from CS 240-CS 299, CS 340-CS 398, CS 440-CS 498" requirement, take 245, 246 (assuming you can enroll), 371, 479, 467. There's other courses you can take, but that's just an example. …”

u/steakhousebobby123: “If CS + CO is taken why not try CO with a CS minor? Plus the CO degree should be good enough to get jobs like the ones u are describing Also don't just do a program because its prestigious. …”
u/reachoutc: “… The reqs are: - MATH 239 / MATH 249 - CS 115/135/145 - CS 136/146 - One additional course from CS 340-CS 398, CS 440-CS 498 - Five additional courses from CS 240-CS 299, CS 340-CS 398, CS 440-CS 498 The 6 CS courses you can take to achieve this which are open to Math (non-cs) …”
