Requirements for the Minor

The minor in mathematics consists of six or seven courses.  The required courses are MA 251 , MA 252 , one MA 400-level course.  The elective courses are to be three or four-credit courses as listed below.

Students graduating with a degree in a natural science, computer science, or engineering must take MA 251 , MA 252 , one MA 400-level course, plus three or four additional MA/ST courses: either one at the 400-level plus two at the 200-level or higher, or four at the 200-/300-level.

Students graduating with a degree in the social sciences or humanities must take MA 251 , MA 252 , one MA 400-level course, plus three additional MA/ST courses at the 200-level or higher.

Students graduating with a degree in business must take MA 251 , MA 252 , one MA 400-level course, plus three additional courses: MA 301 , ST 210  or EC 220  , and one of: MA/ST 300- or 400-level course or EC 405  or EC 420  or EC 425  .

Students graduating with a degree in elementary education must take MA 251 , MA 252 , and ST 210 , and four additional courses from the following options:

• MA 103 , MA 104 , one MA/ST course at the 300-level or higher, and one MA/ST 400-level course
• MA 103 , MA 395 , MA 431 , and one MA/ST course at the 300-level or higher
• MA 104 , MA 395 , MA 441  or MA 442 , and one MA/ST course at the 300-level or higher

For students wishing to complete minors in both mathematics and statistics, up to two courses may be double counted towards both minors.  Therefore, a minimum of ten courses must be taken in the areas of mathematics and statistics, and these courses must satisfy the published requirements for each of the two separate minors.  For a student whose minor in mathematics consists of seven courses instead of six, a minimum of 11 total courses must be taken.
