Mathematics Minor

Program Offered: Minor
Department of Mathematical Sciences
College of Arts and Sciences

Kettler Hall 200 ~ 260-481-6821 ~ www.ipfw.edu/math

You may earn a minor in mathematics by completing at least six courses in mathematics and statistics. Your selection of courses should be appropriate for your major, and your program for a minor must be approved by the department’s program review committee. Two calculus courses must be included. College algebra or trigonometry courses are excluded; one computer science course may be substituted for a mathematics or statistics course. You must have a grade of C or better in all courses included in your minor, and at least half of the credits must be earned as resident credit at IPFW.
