Mathematics Minor

A minor in Mathematics can be developed to complement a major program in any major, with a focus on pure and applied mathematical theory.​

Course Requirements

• Choose one of the following three-course Calculus sequences:
• Sequence One
• MAT 150 CALCULUS I
• MAT 151 CALCULUS II
• MAT 152 CALCULUS III
• Sequence Two
• MAT 147 CALCULUS WITH INTEGRATED PRECALCULUS I
• MAT 148 CALCULUS WITH INTEGRATED PRECALCULUS II
• MAT 149 CALCULUS WITH INTEGRATED PRECALCULUS III
• Sequence Three
• MAT 160 CALCULUS FOR MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE MAJORS I
• MAT 161 CALCULUS FOR MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE MAJORS II
• MAT 162 CALCULUS FOR MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE MAJORS III
• Sequence Four
• MAT 170 CALCULUS FOR LIFE SCIENCES I
• MAT 171 CALCULUS FOR LIFE SCIENCES II
• MAT 172 CALCULUS III WITH DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
• Sequence Five *
• MAT 155 SUMMER CALCULUS I
• MAT 156 SUMMER CALCULUS II 

*Note:  This Calculus sequence is offered only during the summer, in two 6-credit hour courses.  Students successfully completing MAT 131, 147, 150 or 160 should enroll in MAT 155; students who successfully complete MAT 148, 151 or 161 should enroll in MAT 156.  Students who successfully complete MAT 155 may enroll in either MAT 151 or MAT 156.

• Choose one of the following options:
• MAT 215 INTRODUCTION TO MATHEMATICAL REASONING
• Discrete Mathematics Sequence
• MAT 140 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS I and
• MAT 141 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS II
• Two additional mathematics courses chosen from the 200 or 300-level courses that are admissible for credit as part of the mathematics common core or as part of one of the concentrations in mathematics.

Business students who have an exceptionally strong background in calculus, including calculus of trig functions, may be permitted by the chair to substitute MAT 135 BUSINESS CALCULUS I and MAT 136 BUSINESS CALCULUS II for MAT 150 CALCULUS I

Students cannot earn a minor in the same academic program as their major.
