Do you like math? Why not add a math minor?

For some majors (computer science or physics majors) a math minor is only 2-3 additional courses beyond the courses required by the major!

And there are quite a few advantages:

• Earning a math minor is a challenge and it is fun!
• It demonstrates you know quite a bit of mathematics or statistics.
• It demonstrates that you have rigorous reasoning and problem-solving skills.
• Graduate programs in the quantitative sciences, law schools and medical schools like it.
• It makes you more marketable and looks good on your resume.

A math minor requires 23 credits in M or STAT courses 

Details are in the UM Catalog or download the Math Minor Handout (PDF).

Note that there are different requirements for a teaching minor in mathematics.

Prerequisite Graphs to help with course planning:

• Math courses for a Math Minor based on Applied Calculus (M 162)
• Math courses based on Calculus I/II, through the 300-level
