Minors and Certificates in Mathematics

 

 

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers one undergraduate minor, one undergraduate certificate, and one graduate certificate.  

 

Minor in Applied Mathematics

 

The minor in applied mathematics consists of the completion of 11 credit hours of prerequisite courses (MATH 131, MATH 132, and MATH 224) and the successful completion of 12 credit hours of required courses (MATH 240, MATH 340, MATH 365, and STAT 324) with an average GPA of 2.0.  None of these twelve (12) credit hours of required coursework can be included in the minor seeker's baccalaureate degree plan of study.

Prerequisite to the Applied Mathematics Minor (11 Credit Hours):

Students must complete the following courses, with a grade of “C” or better.

Required Course (12 Credit Hours):

Students in the applied mathematics minor program are required to take the following four MATH and STAT courses.

 

All minor applications must be approved by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

 

Undergraduate Certificate in Data Science and Analytics

 

A student seeking the Undergraduate Certificate in Data Science and Analytics must complete a minimum of 15 credit hour course work in data science and analytics related undergraduate courses, including

Two DSA Core Courses (6 Credit Hours):

 

Two DSA Electives (6 Credit Hours) from STAT, BIOL, COMP, CST, ISEN, BUAN, or PHYS courses;

and

A DSA Infused Capstone Project: (3 credit hours, or up to 6 credit hours for those who are required to take a two-semester capstone or senior project course sequence to complete their capstone/senior projects).
