PHYS 2306/PHYS 2106Physics II and Lab

5. 8 semester hours in Chemistry:

CHEM 1301/CHEM 1302Chemical Principles I and II

CHEM 1203LChemical Principles Laboratory

6. A Minor in Mathematics (21 hours) that includes the following:

MATH 1311Precalculus

MATH 2312Calculus I

MATH 2313Calculus II

MATH 2314Differential Equations

MATH
Plus 9 additional upper-division hours in Mathematics

Students may begin their Mathematics minor with MATH 2312 Calculus I if they have the prerequisite Precalculus course (passed with C or better) from another institution, or has equivalent qualifications from other mathematics courses and permission from the Mathematics faculty.

The Advanced Math (6 hours) consists of any 3000-level or 4000-level courses in Mathematics (in addition to the required MATH 3314). The student needs to fulfill the particular prerequisites for those six hours of advanced mathematics courses and select those that best fit their career goals and/or graduate school.

The following courses do not qualify for the Mathematics Minor for Meteorology Majors:

MATH 2374, Mathematics for Elementary Teachers

MATH 2375, Mathematics and Science Pedagogy for Elementary Teachers

MATH 3340, History of Mathematics
