Information for Declaring a Mathematics Major

First print a Declaration of Major form, which can be found on the University Registrar's website. Then visit the Math Department Office (Jones 114) to determine who your Major advisor will be. Complete
the Declaration of Major form with the assistance of your Major advisor. Have your Major advisor sign the completed form. Then deliver the form to the University Registrar's Office.

The specific requirements for majoring in Mathematics and details about various concentrations within the Mathematics Department can found in the Undergraduate Course Catalog and in the Mathematics Undergraduate Advising Handbook.

Information for Declaring a Mathematics Minor

First complete the Declaration of Academic Minor Application form, which is available at the Math Department Office (Jones 114). Then submit the completed form to the Math Department Office for approval. After the form has been approved and signed by the Minor advisor, deliver the form to the University Registrar's Office.

Typically, students fulfill the Minor requirement in Mathematics by taking four courses out of Math 111, 112, 131, 132, 211, 212, 213, 214 and two courses out of Math 302, 323, 345, 351, 352. However, many other possibilities exist, and any set of courses that satisfy the requirements listed in Undergraduate Course Catalog is acceptable. The Math Department routinely allows students to use CSCI 243 (Discrete Structures) in place of Math 214 (Foundations of Mathematics) in the above list of courses.
