MATHEMATICS Degree: Minor Program Modality: On-ground Academic Program Director: Cindy Casey
Program Description: Reflective of the mission of the University, the mission of the Mathematics Minor is to provide each student with an education that is not only comprehensive in mathematical theorems and logic, but also literate in the arts and sciences. If you have a GMercyU major in any discipline, you may earn a minor in mathematics.
NOTE: For Minor Requirements, see Program Handbook and Curriculum Sheets.
Internal Transfers: Students interested in adding a minor in mathematics program may do so at any time but must have earned a GPA of 2.5 or higher prior to being accepted into the program. Internal transfers will meet with their current advisor and the CS program director to discuss their interest and the requirements.
External Transfers: Any student who has been enrolled in a regionally accredited post- secondary school of higher education and accepted into Gwynedd Mercy University as a transfer student may apply for a minor in mathematics. The Registrar’ s office will conduct a transfer equivalency analysis of the applicant ' s completed credits. A maximum of six credits from another college or university can be applied to the math minor. Course credits from another accredited institution will be accepted if they correspond to the courses offered at Gwynedd Mercy University and if the course grades are C or higher( C- is not an acceptable grade for transfer). The CS program director will review all transcripts and course descriptions from the sending university to determine course equivalency.
Academic Standards / Grade Requirements: Grades of“ C” or higher are required in each mathematics course. A student may achieve less than a“ C” grade in only two courses and may repeat these courses only once.
