Mathematics, Minor

A minor in mathematics is an excellent credential in the eyes of future employers in that it provides evidence of analytical and technical skills that makes résumés stand apart. Topics include calculus, linear algebra, symbolic logic, the construction of proofs, complex variables, etc.

Requirements Accordion Open

  • A minor is earned in conjunction with a bachelor's degree.

    To receive a minor (18 - 24 units) at Northern Arizona University, you must complete a planned group of courses from one or more subject matter areas with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0. At least 12 units of the minor must be unique to that minor and not applied to any other minor.

Overview Accordion Closed

In addition to University Requirements:

  • Complete individual plan requirements.

Students may be able to use some courses to meet more than one requirement. Contact your advisor for details.

No more than fifty percent of the units used to satisfy minor requirements may be used to satisfy major requirements.

Student Learning Outcomes

This plan addresses three general student learning outcomes: breadth and depth of mathematical knowledge, ability to communicate mathematics clearly, and facility with mathematical reasoning. Broad mathematical knowledge implies a basic understanding of the theory and applications of calculus, set theory, algebraic structures, and probability.
 
Students should be able to communicate effectively and be comfortable collaborating with others on mathematical problems. Mathematical reasoning involves the ability to read and understand formal mathematics, construct rigorous proofs, and solve mathematical problems, as well as an understanding of the context and applications of mathematics, and facility with the use of technology in a mathematical context.

Minor Requirements
  • Take the following 22 - 24 units with a Grade of 'C' or better in each course:
    At least 6 of the units in this minor must be at the upper-division level.

    • <Course Error>, <Course Error>, <Course Error> (11 units)
    • Additional units from MAT or STA courses numbered at the 200-level or above*, excluding <Course Error>, <Course Error>, and <Course Error> (11 - 13 units)
