List program changes for curriculum revisions:

The first two paragraphs in requirements of a minor in mathematics in the ’03-‘04 catalog remain unchanged.

The correct wording is in the current catalog.

Courses which are cross-listed with a Mathematical Sciences MATH course may also be counted toward the minor. Courses in mathematics education (e.g. MATH 308, 379, 380 and 382) may be counted toward the minor.

List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum:

(Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)

None

Other affected units:

(List other departments affected by this new or revised curriculum. Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

Rationale:

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

Since some courses have been deleted or re-numbered, we plan to modify the statements of requirements for a minor in mathematics. The total number of required credits stays the same.

Requirements for a Minor in Mathematics

A student seeking a minor in mathematics must obtain permission from the chairperson or his designee in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

Course requirements consist of a total of 18 credits in MATH courses offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences, to include 9 credits above MATH 302. In order to count toward the minor, a grade of C- or better is required. MATH 341 and MATH 351 are not considered above MATH 302 since they are comparable courses from a different track. However, MATH 342 and MATH 352 may be counted as above MATH 302, provided MATH 349 is not included in the count.

Courses which are cross-listed with a Mathematical Sciences MATH course may also be counted toward the minor. Courses in mathematics education (e.g., MATH 308, 379, 380, 382) may not be counted towards the minor.

Program Requirements:

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog. If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the present curriculum.)
