Minor in Mathematics or Statistics

Students who are majoring in a subject other than mathematics may elect to minor in either mathematics or statistics.

If you are considering adding a minor in mathematics or statistics, you can schedule time to attend a math class or two, speak with the department administration and faculty, and have lunch with a couple of current math students. Please call (717) 871-7668 or email math@millersville.edu.
