The Minor in Mathematics consists of the successful completion of at least 2 units of academic activities in mathematical sciences.
Students should discuss course selections for the minor in advance with a member of the mathematical sciences faculty who will serve as the Minor Advisor. The student must complete the Mathematics Minor Program Planning and Approval Form and have it signed by the Minor Advisor. Students are encouraged to do this as early as possible, but it must be done prior to starting the Capstone.
For more information about the Mathematics minor, see Professor Tripp, who is the coordinator for Mathematics minors.
The following requirements must be satisfied.
At least 5/3 units of coursework in the Mathematical Sciences Department at the 2000 level or above1
1/3 unit Capstone Experience
The experience may be satisfied by certain 3000-level, 4000-level or graduate courses offered by the department or by a suitable independent study with a Mathematical Sciences faculty member. The Capstone must be approved in advance by having the Capstone instructor sign the Mathematics Minor Planning and Approval Form. After completion of the Capstone Experience, the Mathematics Minor Program Planning and Approval Form is submitted to the Mathematical Sciences Program Review Chair for final approval.
Notes:
1At least 2/3 units must be upper-level courses, i.e. 3000-level, 4000-level, or graduate mathematics courses.
