Notes for Minors

Mathematics minors who receive a grade of  “D” in a 100 level course prerequisite to calculus must repeat the course no later than concurrent with calculus.  Mathematics minors must attain a grade of  “C” or higher in any 200, 300 or 400 level course used as a prerequisite or applied towards their minor. Unless otherwise noted, prerequisites must be satisfied prior to taking a course.  The program of the minor should be approved by the student's mathematics department adviser.

Transfer Student Policy

Only courses approved by the Department of Mathematics may be applied to a minor program offered by the department.  If a student submits mathematics units that are more than five years old at the time of admission or readmission, the chair, after reviewing these records, may require that some courses be repeated or that a new course be substituted.

Mathematics minors must take at least four (4) courses of their mathematics minor program at Towson University; at least two (2) courses must be at the upper-division level.
