The Minor - Math
Requirements
The requirements for the minor in mathematics are the following:
- Grade Requirement
No course used to satisfy the minor requirements may be taken pass/fail. All courses must be passed. A cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 in all Mathematics and Statistics courses taken is required.
- Calculus & Linear Algebra
MATH 131, Math 132, Math 233, and Math 235
- Computer Science
Proficiency in a computer programming language satisfied by CICS 110/INFO 190S, CS 121, CS 187, ECE 122, ECE 242 or equivalent. Classes using Matlab are generally not permitted. Instead, we are looking for serious exposure to programming paradigms and techniques involving a low-level language such as Java, C, C++, or Python.
- Upper-division Courses
Four upper-division courses of at least 3 credits each. At most one of these courses may be taken outside of a mathematics and statistics department. Any course taken in another department must be approved by the Chief Undergraduate Advisor. At least two of these courses must be taken at UMass.
