Minor in Mathematics

Program Description and Objectives
 

The objective of the minor is to more fully prepare students for careers in business, computer science and information technology, the science fields, the government, etc. that require a deeper appreciation and a more sophisticated understanding of mathematics than normally found in their major.  A minor in mathematics will also better prepare a student for graduate school in the sciences, computer science, IT, and business to list just a few.  The minor in mathematics will consist of 17 – 18 hours of mathematics and/or computer science.  The student with a minor in mathematics will have a strong background in the calculus of a single variable and introductory applied linear algebra.  The student will choose 9 more hours from the upper division offerings of the department.  The courses listed for the minor are regularly scheduled by the department.

 

Outcomes:

Graduates with a Minor in Mathematics will be able to:

  1. Use and apply critical thinking skills in solving problems that can be modeled mathematically.

  2. Critically interpret numerical and graphical data.

  3. Apply computer technology appropriately to solve problems including the design and implementation of new tools or algorithms.

  4.  Convey mathematical knowledge both orally and in writing in a clear and concise manner.

  5. Apply their mathematical knowledge to either post-baccalaureate study or a career field.
