Minor in Mathematics

This minor comprises a collection of courses typically required for more advanced study in mathematics. With course options such as linear algebra, differential equations, and dynamical systems, this minor will enhance a student's mathematical reasoning to analyze and solve complex problems. This minor is for students seeking a deeper mathematical foundation and is a good complement to a major in data analytics, finance, or economics. It also provides strong fundamentals to students considering a quantitatively-oriented graduate program such as quantitative finance, economics, or data science. This minor also allows students to add a credential to their diploma that indicates they have completed a higher level of mathematics training.
