Mathematics Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The five courses of the mathematics minor augment a technical degree in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, or Engineering with the additional mathematics needed to prepare one for post-graduate quantitative work in their discipline. Novel work in the technical fields typically has a mathematical underpinning. By completing the mathematics minor, you will enhance your mathematics aptitude and expand your mathematics experience, and thereby position yourself to undertake a wider array of front-line creative endeavors in your field.
