For all the hard sciences (computer science, chemistry, engineering, and physics), adding a minor in mathematics usually only requires one or two additional courses and adding a double major often requires only three or four additional courses. Employers often look very favorably on these extra degrees.

In order to obtain a Mathematics Minor you must complete 21 hours of mathematics courses above the level of Math 1360 including at least nine hours above Math 3300 (with some exceptions). For more details on the exact requirements for a Mathematics Minor see our catalog.

If you would like to have a mathematics minor, all you need to do is download the Minor Application form, fill it out, then bring it by the math department for verification of the courses taken (and their eligibility to count towards a Mathematics Minor) and the department chairs signature.

Students considering a Mathematics Minor are strongly advised to come over the Mathematics Department (Lucas 200) to dicuss the courses that will be best suited for you to take in order to fulfill the requirements with a mathematics advisor.

A double major in mathematics requires not less than 30 hours of mathematics, including a minimum of the 23 core mathematics hours. Certain restrictions apply. For more details on the exact requirements for a double major in mathematics see our catalog.

Students who are considering or would like to have a double major in mathematics should come over the Mathematics Department (Lucas 200) to register with the department and to dicuss the courses that will you will need to take in order to fulfill the requirements with a mathematics advisor.
