FAQ for the Mathematics and Statistics Undergraduate Program

  1. What do I need to do to get a minor in Mathematics?

    The new requirements for a minor in Mathematics are:

    Fifteen hours of courses labeled MATH or STAT at the level of 3000 or
    higher; at least three courses labeled MATH. A minimum grade of C in each of
    these courses is required.

    Be sure to also read the university requirements for a minor in the Academic Bulletin. In particular note that courses required for your major or the core curriculum cannot count toward the minor.

    You need to fill out a form (which you can download here) in which you list the courses that you have taken towards your minor and obtain some signatures. This form is then forwarded to the Registrar's Office (by the Department) which will make a note in your transcript that you have fulfilled the requirements of a mathematics minor.
