Mathematics Minor
The Math Department offers three minors - Mathematics, Statistics, and Computational Optimization - to give students flexible, targeted options for strengthening their quantitative skills. The Mathematics minor deepens theoretical understanding, the Statistics minor builds essential data analysis and research skills, and the Computational Optimization minor develops practical tools for modeling and solving complex, real-world problems. Together, these minors allow students from any major to tailor their training and enhance their competitiveness in today's data-driven academic and professional fields.
Mathematics Minor
The Department of Mathematics offers a minor program in mathematics designed to enable students with a significant interest in mathematics to deepen their knowledge while pursuing a major in another field, thereby providing these students with a broad and deep mathematical foundation that is extremely valuable to employers and graduate schools seeking students with quantitative skills. Mathematical methods are used today in a variety of careers including accounting, finance, economics, biology, psychology, engineering, and computer science.
