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?

Like I said in response to Cody, IMO it's the content covered that's more important than the minor on the diploma. But really, if that math class is anything like I one I had to take, a) it's a super easy class... all you have to understand are the differences between fixed, linear, exponential, and logarithmic growth and b) understanding the general math behind computing algorithms is one of the skills that defines the difference between an "engineer" and a "programmer".
I'd really try to take the course, especially if it's the last thing between you an the minor degree.
