Math Minor Requirements for Ph.D. students with a major area outside Mathematics

1. A math minor candidate must earn at least 12 credits in mathematics courses above Math 300. They must be taken as a graduate student. Graduate mathematics credits transferred from other universities may be considered subject to the approval of a Math Minor Adviser.
2. At least six credits must be in courses above Math 700. At most one course cross-listed with the major department may be used for the math minor. This course must be staffed by the Mathematics Department and it may not be applied to any requirement for the major department.
3. An average grade of at least B is required in the courses for this requirement. If there is a grade of C or if for some other reason the candidate's course performance is considered weak by a Math Minor Adviser, the candidate may be required to take a written or oral exam.
4. The course program of a candidate for a math minor must be approved by a Math Minor Adviser. While this approval may be given after the courses are taken it is advisable for the candidate to get written approval as soon as possible. (This written approval may be on a minor form used by the major department or by a Mathematics Department form and can be easily amended if the candidate wishes to make a change in the program.)
