Minor in Mathematics

A minor in mathematics can greatly improve your employability, since it shows that you have done significant work in a field other than your major. As a biology major, you would only need two more courses beyond your required major courses to satisfy the requirements of a mathematics minor.

What Can You Do With a Minor in Mathematics?

A minor in mathematics combined with a biology major can give a student the ability to do mathematical modeling in biology. These mathematical models can be useful in ecological studies, cancer control, medical statistics, etc. In fact, it was just recently revealed that mathematical models for stents can greatly improve their design and utility.

A minor in mathematics combined with a business degree could help you understand complex financial models that might help improve the economy.
