(for non-BA and non-BS math majors) 

The minor in Mathematics consists of 17 credits and is relevant to students in all majors. Mathematics is needed in every aspect of one’s daily life and in every profession. Students who complete this minor will possess strong mathematical knowledge and problem solving skills that are useful in the contemporary workplace and in graduate studies, including those in business, natural sciences, computer science, education, engineering and technology. The courses for Mathematics minor are as follows: 

Required Courses (8 Credits) 

Elective Courses (9 credits)

Three courses must be chosen from the following: 

To take any course in the minor, a student must meet all prerequisites for that course.
