| Administrative | RATIONALE FOR CHANGES TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MATHEMATICS MINOR
The principal changes to the Requirements for a Mathematics Minor for theDepartment of Mathematics are the following:
1) Specification of a set of additional requirements, involving minimumgrade point and the enrollment in honors courses, for students with an honors contract pursuing a minor in mathematics.
2) Elimination of two courses from the list of courses required for a
minor program in mathematics.
3) Addition of certain 500 and 600-level courses to the list of acceptable elective courses for a minor program in mathematics.
Item #1 is simply a codification of existing practice, not hitherto
specified in writing. It represents the sense of the Department that
there should be additional academic expectations of honors students. The three alternative criteria are an attempt to be as flexible as possible as regards these additional expectations.
Items #2 and #3 reflect the Department's recognition that many students pursuing different major disciplines can add considerable value to their degree program by including a minor in mathematics. However, it is desirable to allow considerable flexibility so that the minor program can be designed to best suit the needs of the student's major discipline. For this reason, we have pared down the list of required courses to the absolute fundamentals of any mathematical training, and we have enlarged the list of possible electives to accommodate the maximum number of different career paths. [We are currently compiling a set of suggested electives matched to a variety of major programs to give guidance to students in these disciplines.] |
