Students must complete MATH 241, and at least one 400-level MATH course for admission into the minor. The Mathematics minor is designed to prepare students majoring in some other discipline with a background in mathematics that is both broad and deep. Students interested in pursuing the minor should have completed the calculus sequence through MATH 241, and one additional Math course at the 400-level demonstrating a strong record of success in college-level mathematics courses. Given the cumulative character of mathematics preparation, students earning grades of C or below in previous mathematics courses are advised not to pursue the minor.
