This section specifies the Mathematics minor discipline requirements only. This minor must be combined with another minor, extended minor, or major other than the Mathematics major, Mathematics extended minor, or Mathematics minor (Statistics option). Please refer to the appropriate section of the calendar for information on additional degree requirements.
Declaration requirements
Students admitted to the Bachelor of Science may formally declare a major or minor if they have a minimum CGPA of 2.00 and meet the declaration requirements for the subject discipline. BSc students are expected to declare a major or minor by the time they have completed 60 credits.
Bachelor of Science students wishing to declare a Mathematics minor must complete one of MATH 112, MATH 211, MATH 221, or MATH 255/ENGR 255, with a minimum grade of C+, prior to their formal declaration.
