Mathematics Minor

Course Requirements

The minor is intended for students who are interested in mathematics and want a strong mathematical foundation for studying in areas that rely heavily on analytical skills. Students are required to complete at least 10 courses as follows. Courses may be taken for a letter grade or Pass/No Pass. Some courses may be satisfied via exam credit.

Upper-Division Courses

Take the following course:

MATH 100Introduction to Proof and Problem Solving

5

Plus four upper-division electives:

The remaining four courses are chosen from the list of MATH, AM, or STAT courses numbered 101-190. Courses must be 5 credits or more, and only one of the four courses can be from AM or STAT. Lecture and lab combinations count as a single course. For courses with a required concurrently enrolled lab, only successful completion of the lecture is required for the major. Successful completion of the lab may count toward total degree credits. Recommended courses for the minor are listed below.
