I believe you only need to take a couple of classes to take a minor in mathematics.

Hello,


Perhaps the best way to prep for an undergraduate degree in computer science is to cultivate knowledge and skills in mathematics and laboratory science.


“Having a firm grasp of mathematics and science will help if the student wants to pursue a degree even if they never end up using it in the ‘real world,'” says Chris Martino of SimpiVity Corporation. “Most CS programs are heavy in these areas with requirements in calculus, statistics, physics, etc.”


In addition to math and other lab sciences, high school students interested in computer science should explore as many specialties as possible. Not only to better understand the landscape, but to plan out college-level coursework. In addition to general computer science and programming, for example, some high schools have started to offer classes in database management, information assurance and security and fundamentals of information technology (IT).


High school students may be on their own when it comes to finding opportunities for computer science and coding instruction. If they can’t find programs at their schools, they may be able to advance their knowledge through in-depth online resources or intensive summer camps. These often provide access to seasoned instructors either remotely or in-person:


Hack Reactor offers a 12-week boot camp (with a hefty price tag) to hone software engineering skills. Previous coding experience is recommended.


Metis is a 12-week camp taught by instructors in Boston that focuses on HTML, CSS and Ruby on Rails. The camp is expensive, but makes scholarships available to women, minorities and veterans.


Silicon Valley Code Camp is offered free of charge and run by developers for developers to address topics such as branding or legal issues.


ScriptEd.org is another organization providing programming education in low-income areas through partnerships with volunteers.


Square expanded its coding camp from college-only to high school girls in Silicon Valley and provides instruction through Square engineers and additional teachers.
