Effective Winter 2021
Exclusions:An academic minor in Mathematics is not open to students with any major in Mathematics. However, a student who graduated with an academic minor in Mathematics may return to complete a major in Mathematics. Per LSA rules, at least 9 credits must be taken in residence. The student must earn an overall GPA of at least 2.0 for the minor. All in-residence credit MUST be taken in the Mathematics Department. In all cases, more advanced courses may be substituted with the approval of a math advisor. In particular, students who have satisfied the prerequisite with the Honors Sequence Math 295-296 or 217-297 will need to consult an advisor for the proper selection of courses. Other modifications can also be made with the approval of a math advisor. Finally, classes offered outside Mathematics CANNOT be used to satisfy the requirements of the Math Minor.
Advising
Students wishing to pursue a minor in Mathematics must develop a specific plan for its completion in consultation with an advisor. Appointments are scheduled on-line
Students are strongly urged to consult with a department advisor each term before selecting courses for the following term.
Grade Policies
All courses for the minor program, including prerequisites, must be completed with a grade of at least a C-. Students with lower grades in prerequisite courses must receive special permission of the instructor to enroll in subsequent courses.
