The Math Minor is intended for any student, regardless of major, with a strong interest in mathematics. While students in such closely allied fields as computer science or physics often complete double majors, students with more distantly related majors such as psychology or history may find the minor useful.

The flexibility of the mathematics minor program allows each student, in consultation with a mathematics advisor, to tailor the program to his or her needs.

To earn a minor in mathematics, a student must complete at least 30 credits in mathematics at the 200 level or higher, with at least 15 upper-division mathematics credits; Statistical Methods I (MATH 425) cannot be used toward the upper-division requirement. A minimum of 15 credits must be taken at the University of Oregon.
