Do you think a business minor is a good complement to a computer science major?
Or should I specialize in software systems instead? The business minor is for the business information systems specialization. Which specialization do employers want the most?
@ PE2008: I'm doing the CS major in the arts and sciences college, which apparently isn't accredited, but the CS major in the engineering college is, but neither major's curriculum has business courses, unless you pick the business information systems specialization. For the engineering CS I have to take a bunch of engineering courses which I'm not exactly a fan of, that's why I did the other one. But now I'm really worried and upset because my major isn't accredited, although I've always known that the other one is "better", but someone told me it doesn't matter and I listened. Should I have gritted my teeth and done the engineering one? If I switch to the engineering CS now I won't graduate on time.
Also, I've looked at the CS majors at some other universities, and those majors are also accredited, but none of them have engineering classes in the curriculum, so they're basically the same as mine, but mine is not accredited. This is annoying.

If your Computer Science degree is CAC/ABET-accredited, it will have at least one "Business" course.
ADDED:
"neither major's curriculum has business courses"
It's often hidden in some other courses, such as "time value of money" or "operations research".
CAC/ABET acredtation is relatively new, and not all schools have had their CS programs accredited. In fact there are some prestigious holdouts. However, over time, CAC/ABET-accredtation will mean more, and there may come a day CAC/ABET-accreditation of Bachelor's degrees will be required for graduate CS degree admission.

It depends on your interests... I mean, if you want to work as a programmer, software developer, etc. most business aren't going to care if you've business classes or not.
But if you're open to other types of general business jobs, it might be a good idea.

mathematics would compliment well with your CS degree. that is especially true when you plan on joining the banking and finance industry someday. you'd be attractive to top banks like Goldman Sachs, Bain, UBS, Citi and the like.

It relies upon on your pursuits... i desire to advise, in case you desire to paintings as a programmer, utility developer, etc. optimal company company are unlikely to care in case you have company company classes or no longer. yet as quickly as you're open to diverse forms of usual company company jobs, this may be a bodily useful concept.
