Mathematics Minor

The minor consists of a minimum of 18 credits in mathematics including at least 6 credits from 300-level or higher courses. The minor prepares students for advanced study in areas such as economics, computer science, physics, and other natural sciences. Anyone required to take a year of calculus should consider the Mathematics minor.

A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in MATH courses is required for the Mathematics or Applied Statistics minor. No more than 6 credits of overlap can be used for the Mathematics and Applied Statistics minors. Transfer students must take at least three courses from IUP with at least two courses from the IUP Mathematics Department in order to complete a minor.
