The Mathematics and Computer Science Department may waive one or more of the foundation course requirements for students with advanced high school mathematics preparation.
Students will enhance their credentials by including Math 210, Introduction to Statistical Analysis, and CS 171, Introduction to Computer Science I.
Students must complete all requirements established by the Education Department for teacher certification.
The minor in Statistics provides the necessary background to do statistical analysis in professional or academic settings involving the collection and study of data. This minor is not open to Mathematics majors.
Students who minor in both Mathematics and Statistics can only apply MA 201, 202, 203 toward both minors.
1. Three courses in Mathematics
MA 201, 202, 203 Calculus I, II, III
2. Three courses in probability and statistics from the following:
MA 141 Elementary Statistics
MA 242 Intermediate Methods in Statistics
MA 341 Probability
MA 342, 343 Mathematical Statistics I, II
Six three- or four-credit mathematics courses, including:
At least one semester of calculus
Linear Algebra (MA253)
At least one mathematics course numbered 300 or higher
Keep in mind that there's a College rule that "A minor must include at least four courses taken in addition to courses taken to satisfy requirements for any major or other minor." In other words, you can only count two courses from your major towards your math minor. (This only affects students whose majors involve more than two mathematics courses, of course.)
There are a variety of ways to tailor your degree program to your personal career goal. For instance, if you wish to build a program in mathematical and applied statistics, you could do the Bachelor of Science program with a minor in statistics. The minor in statistics consists of ST 3123, ST 4111, ST 4213, one of ST 4523 or ST 4543, and two other statistics courses at the 4000 level. Because not all 4000-level statistics courses count toward the minor, the student should consult the major statistics advisor.
Many students complete double majors. It is possible for a student to
