I agree with @aquapt that CS “minors” may struggle with overcrowding. Although I think it’s still possible to complete a minor if you’re just persistent and willing to deal with having to “perm” into classes which means your schedule can be unsettled until a week or so into the new semester.

My D is a senior at Pomona and an Econ major. She didn’t take her first CS class until fall of sophomore year. Then she found she really liked CS and realized how valuable it was. She tried to do a minor but the combination of a late start and registration priority issues made it difficult. She has ended up taking 5 CS classes and probably could have still completed the CS minor but she was also doing a math minor and decided to prioritize math courses given her interest in grad school in economics.
