Why Choose Mathematics or Statistics?
The department offers minor programs in mathematics and statistics if you are a student who is completing a non-math degree. Either minor can serve as an attractive credential for employment or improved preparation for graduate study. Each requires completion of specific courses which include some common math courses such as calculus and linear algebra.
If you have specific questions about taking a math or statistics minor contact Steen Pedersen.
