A minor in mathematics provides you with greater depth of understanding and quantitative skills. The mathematics minor complements degrees in a number of other fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, computer science, economics and finance. USI’s curriculum for the mathematics minor includes a strong foundation in calculus, but allows you flexibility by allowing you to choose the upper-level electives that complement your major and correspond to your interests.
An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
