Minor

A minor in Mathematics is available to students pursuing a major in another discipline. A minor consists of a minimum of 24 credits in a discipline.  In Mathematics, the minor must consist of a minimum of six credits at the first year level and at least 12 credits at the upper year level. Cross-coded and cross-listed courses may count towards a minor if they have not been used elsewhere to complete program requirements.  A minimum grade of 60% is required in the introductory course(s) presented for the minor.  MATH 1070, MATH 1911, MATH 1912, and MATH 1922 may not be counted in the minor.
