A College of Arts and Sciences  undergraduate minor in Mathematics is offered to students who wish to supplement their preparation in a major discipline with a substantial amount of course work in mathematics. It is especially appropriate for students who would like to develop additional quantitative and qualitative reasoning skills. Depending on the student’s major, a minor in Mathematics will generally enhance the individual’s prospects for employment and for graduate or professional study.

Requirements for the Minor


Students must meet all university requirements for a minor, including completion of at least one-half the required courses at Governors State.
