Minors in Mathematics
Applied Mathematics
An applied mathematics minor helps you acquire the mathematical tools and understanding to tackle problems in almost any field by prioritizing a breadth of mathematical techniques. It pairs especially well with science and technical majors, but it also puts an analytical, problem-solving twist on any major.
Requirements:
- MATH 240 Calculus III 4 hours
- MATH 320 Linear Algebra 3 hours
- MATH 331 Differential Equations 3 hours
- MATH 3xx At least 3 additional credit hours in math courses numbered above 300
- MATH xxx Additional 5 credit hours in mathematics courses
Total: 18 hours
Data Science
Data Science is quickly growing and adding a minor in data science will help you tackle the big data questions that are emerging in your field, whatever it is. You'll gain practical, hands-on data experience, preparing you to explore and interpret the vast quantities of data that are becoming available everywhere.
Requirements:
- MATH 270 Intro to Data Science (3 credits)
- MATH 316 Applied Statistics (3 credits)
- MATH 320 Linear Algebra (3 credits)
Choose two (2):

- CS 170 Intro to Scientific & Engineering Programming (3 credits)
Total: 18-19 hours
Mathematics
A minor in mathematics gives you both a mathematical toolset and an understanding of what makes them true. Delving into proof writing and advances mathematics polishes reasoning, writing, and analytical skills. A mathematics minor can help you stand out from the crowd as you apply to graduate school, jobs, or law school.
Requirements:
- MATH 240 Calculus III 4 hours
- MATH 301WI Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 3 hours
- MATH 3xx At least 6 additional credit hours in math courses numbered above 300
- MATH xxx Additional 5 credit hours in mathematics courses
