Students who are interested in a Mathematics minor and for whom MAT 258 is required by their major programs are advised to take MAT 259 and MAT 262 (to replace MAT 258). If MAT 258 is selected, neither MAT 259 nor MAT 262 can be used because of overlapping material.

A student must receive a grade of “C” or higher in all minor requirements.
