To add a math major or a math minor, your first stop is the department office. There you can pick up a form to be used to add a major or minor, and you can find a list of advisors and their hours. Next, go see an advisor or make an appointment with an advisor. You may want to do this step first to talk about exactly what your options are, and whether our program fits your interests and needs. If this is where you begin, you can start by seeking out the director of undergraduate studies or the assistant director of undergraduate studies, or, if you are potentially interested in high-school teaching, the advisor for mathematics education. See the Useful Contacts link for names and offices. The advisor will be interested in what math courses you have taken already, which major option you are interested in (if you are applying for a math major), what courses you might be planning to take, and perhaps what your career interests might be if this is something you already know. You should make a point of discussing with the advisor exactly when courses you might want to take are offered; many of our courses are in year-long sequences that begin only in the fall, and a few of our courses are only taught every two years. After you have discussed at least a rough plan for completing a major (or minor) the advisor will sign your form, and ask you to bring it back to the department office (the department office will then file it with the registrar). |
