Minor in Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics offers a minor in mathematics available to all students at Marshall University. Students choosing this minor will find expanded job opportunities in business, education, government, and industry.

The minor can be helpful to students in pre-professional programs in the health sciences. A solid grounding in the fundamentals of mathematics is needed in order to perform satisfactorily on aptitude examinations that must be taken prior to admission to a professional school. The minor can be used as an important component of a student’s preparation for admission to law school.

The Department of Mathematics will award a minor in mathematics to every student who completes the following four courses, with at least a 2.0 grade point average and with at least two of the courses taken at Marshall University: MTH 229, MTH 230, MTH 300, and one of the following: MTH 231, MTH 329, MTH 331, MTH 345, MTH 405, MTH 430, MTH 440, MTH 448, MTH 449, MTH 450, or MTH 455. (MTH 329, MTH 345, and MTH 440 are proposed new courses that may appear as MTH 48x Special Topics classes.)
