Below is a sample schedule for a student who would like to take a theoretical mathematics track, augmented by a minor in the area of their choice. Students are required either to have a minor, or complete 18 credits at the 300 or 400 level in courses outside the major. Math majors are encouraged to have a minor in a related field such as computer science, physics, chemistry, etc. The exact number of additional courses/credits required will depend upon the minor. If more credits are needed for the minor than are listed below, the free electives may be used to complete the minor requirements.

Notes:
- MTH electives may be chosen freely from the list in the catalog. Some courses with a theoretical emphasis are MTH 331 (modern geometry, MTH 410 (complex analysis), and MTH 413 (topics in linear algebra).
- Courses for the minor and the free electives must include at least 14 credits at the 300/400 level to meet the 40 credit minimum required for graduation. You are encouraged to choose math, computer science, or science courses as free electives.
