Applied Math Minor Requirements

Review requirements for the Applied Mathematics minor at CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, including prerequisites, course options, and tracks in computing and statistics.

Ìý

ÌýÌýPrerequisitesÌý

Two semesters of calculus and computing experience such as provided by CSCI 13XX or COEN 1300 (formerly GEEN 1300).

ÌýÌýResidency

AÌýminimumÌýof 20 credits at the 2000-level and above is required. At least three applied mathematics courses, two of which must be at the 3000-level or above, need to be taken on the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ campus. No more than nine credit hours may be applied from transfer work; of those nine, no more than six may be 3000-level or above.

ÌýÌýMinimum Grades

A cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better is required in the courses that are used to satisfy the requirements for this minor. Each individual course that is counted towards these degree requirements must be passed with a grade of C- or better.
