Units required for Minor: 20-24
Program Description
In today's highly technological society, the study of Mathematics takes on an increasingly important role. The Sacramento State Department of Mathematics and Statistics designs the minor with the goal of providing students with the mathematical concepts appropriate to the student's field.
All units must be taken in Mathematics or Statistics. At least 6 upper division units must be taken at Sacramento State.
Admission Requirements
All students planning to take MATH 30, Calculus I, must first satisfy one of the following criteria.
- Receive a score of 3 on the Calculus AB AP Exam.
- Receive a C- or better in Math 29 (or equivalent).
- Receive a score of 76+ on an ALEKS PPL proctored exam.
For more information about ALEKS PPL and placement into mathematics and statistics courses visit the department website (https://www/csus/edu/math).
