Mathematics Minor, Applied Mathematics Minor

Degree Descriptions

The Math Minor and Applied Math Minor are good choices for majors in a natural or social science seeking significant exposure to mathematics beyond calculus.
Please note, students must meet the minimum GPA requirement of 2.0 to graduate with any major or minor from the department.

All classes counting toward the degree must be taken for a letter grade. Additionally, a letter grade of "D" in a prerequisite course indicates insufficient preparation for the follow up course and we recommend that you retake the course. Major/Minor GPA will be calculated using the better of the grades when a student repeats a course.
