I'd need to get the pre-req of Calc 2 waived in order to take the class as I've only taken up to Business Calc, which is almost Calc 1, but not quite.

Another follow up question to that, what if I were to take the classes, but not finish the minor due to the above situation? So it would be the same classes that I listed previously, minus the Math of Computer Science class and I wouldn't be able to say that my minor was Computer Science on a resume. What kind of an effect would this have?
Its not uncommon for fresh-out-of-college resumes to have a list of courses taken, especially if they are above and beyond what is normal for the degree.

Someone will probably figure out that you were going for a CS major or minor, though, and you should be prepared for the question if it should come up during the interview process.
