Students must complete 3 required courses, a multivariable calculus course, a proof writing course, and a linear algebra course. Students will then complete additional elective courses to complete their minor, the number of courses depending on the type of minor the student is pursuing.
- Traditional Math Minor
- Honors Math Minor - Students earning an honors degree may complete an honors minor. They may choose one of two sets of requirements to fulfill the honors minor.
Note: The minor requirements listed are for students that started OSU in Autumn 2015 or after. Students that started at OSU before Autumn 2015 should consult with the Math Advising Office regarding the old requirements.
