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
