  1. Calculus I. One (1) course:
    • MATH-M 211 Calculus I
    • MATH-S 211
  2. Calculus II. One (1) course:
    • MATH-M 212 Calculus II
    • MATH-S 212 Honors Calculus II
  3. Electives. Additional courses, with approval of the director of undergraduate studies for Mathematics, to fulfill remaining requirements:
    • Any MATH-M 300–399 except MATH-M 333; MATH-M 347

    • Any MATH-S 400–499
    • Any MATH-T 300–399
    • Any MATH-T 400–499
  4. Minor GPA, Hours, and Minimum Grade Requirements.
    1. Minor GPA. A GPA of at least 2.000 for all courses taken in the minor—including those where a grade lower than C- is earned—is required.

Minor Area Courses

  • Unless otherwise noted below, the following courses are considered in the academic program and will count toward academic program requirements as appropriate:

    • Any course at the 200–499 level with the MATH subject area prefix—as well as any other subject areas that are deemed functionally equivalent
    • Any course contained on the course lists for the academic program requirements at the time the course is taken—as well as any other courses that are deemed functionally equivalent—except for those listed only under Addenda Requirements
    • Any course directed to a non-Addenda requirement through an approved exception
Exclusions

The following courses cannot be applied toward minor requirements:

  • Any MATH-E 100–499
  • Any MATH-K 100–499
  • MATH-M 333
  • MATH-M 347 Discrete Mathematics

This program of study cannot be combined with the following:

  • Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Mathematics (ECONMATHBA)
  • Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics (MATHBA)
  • Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Economics (MATHECONBA)
  • Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (MATHBS)
  • Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Program I (MATHBS1)
  • Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Program II (MATHBS2)

Exceptions to and substitutions for minor requirements may be made with the approval of the unit's Director of Undergraduate Studies, subject to final approval by the College of Arts and Sciences.
